Eabhal

Eabhal have made a significant impact on the Scottish music scene with their vibrant, energetic folk music. The band’s distinctive West Coast sound has earned them prestigious recognition, including a Folk Band of the Year nomination at the 2022 MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards, amongst multiple other accolades over the past decade.

The band has released two albums: debut This is How The Ladies Dance (2018) and Aisling (2022), which showcased new arrangements and both Gaelic and English songs. Their music reflects themes of kinship, connection to people and land, elevation, journeys and language. Although from different backgrounds, each member was immersed in traditional music, and their collective passion shines through every performance.

Current members are Kaitlin Ross (vocals), Megan MacDonald (accordion), Nicky Kirk (guitar), Robbie Greig (fiddle), and Ewan Duncan (pipes & whistle). Career highlights include touring to Shanghai for World Music Asia and performing across the US. With their third album currently in progress, Eabhal are ready to elevate traditional music to new heights.
