Malin Lewis - "the future of Scottish folk"

Innovator and award winning multi-instrumentalist Malin Lewis melds Scottish West Coast tradition with a newly invented, self-made bagpipe alongside stars Sally Simpson (Fiddle) and Ali Hutton (Guitar). Malin's unique timbre is born from the deep connection that comes from making and composing for their own instrument. Their one of a kind two-octave smallpipe creates a whole new world of sound, captivating audiences at every opportunity. You can see the trio in action here and here.

Having toured across the UK, Canada and Europe, Malin released their debut album Halocline in May 2024 on Hudson Records., which was longlisted for the 2024 Scottish Album of the Year Award. A Halocline is a visible layer that forms between salt and fresh water and is home to a unique microbial ecosystem. Halocline is a metaphor for Malin’s trans identity and living in a space in between; a beautiful space between a binary.

Inspired by the likes of Martyn Bennett, Duncan Chisholm and Sharron Shannon, Malin's music is as lively as it is thought-provoking and sensitive. Recently Malin's music was featured in the Saiorse Ronan film The Outrun and they have been learning the tradition of the extinct Finnish Bagpipes.
