Cathy Ann MacPhee and the Kathleen MacInnes Band
It is a rare treat to have both Cathy Ann and Kathleen on the same stage with their bands. Cathy Ann MacPhee is from Barra and has spent her life as a Gaelic singer and actress, notably as Mairi Mhòr nan Oran in the BBC film. She now lives in Toronto and teaches Gaelic singing to the Scots in Cape Breton and North Carolina. "MacPhee’s voice remains as expressive as ever, and her interpretations have grown in authority." Kenny Mathieson, The Scotsman Kathleen MacInnes was born and brought up on South Uist, Western Isles, in a Gaelic-speaking home, and has enjoyed a career in television and the theatre as an actress, presenter and singer. Her debut album "Og Mhadainn Shamhraidh (Summer Dawn)" features some wonderful session musicians and the blending of all these talents and capturing of Kathleen’s beautiful voice has resulted in a very fine Gaelic song album.
