The albums span Mary Ann’s whole musical experience and passion, with various live formats capable of communicating this, whether as an intimate duo or as full-scale performance, engaging audiences with Gaelic songs of real people in the here and now, all delivered with her trademark quirky sense of humour.
With Mary Ann on lead vocals, piano and harp, the core performance unit is her duo with highly-respected rock, jazz and trad guitarist Finlay Wells (Big Fat Electric, Coast). The duo expands to full band with Lorne MacDougall (Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Brave) on pipes and whistle and Euan Burton on bass.
Complementing the duo and band, and reflecting the rich instrumental sound of the ‘An Dàn’ album, it is also possible to tour with the Donald Grant Quartet, a classical/trad ensemble sharing Donald and Mary Ann’s dual musical lives, and also with members of the Inverness Gaelic Choir and their vocal ensembles, Trosg and Siaban.
