Description
Mairearad Green and Rachel Newton have come together to celebrate and remember their Great-Great-Grandmother Anna Bhan's involvement in the successful women-led Coigach resistance of 1852/53 during the Highland Clearances. Inspired by recent community plans to build a sculpture in honour of these women in the area, they composed a body of work together in Coigach in the summer of 2023.
They went on to record an album with producer Andy Bell. With songs in both Gaelic and English and featuring pipes, accordion, harp, piano and viola, Mairearad and Rachel's award-winning compositional styles merge to create something truly unique and personal, that both reflects their response to the events of the past and their relationship with the place and the people of Coigach in the present day.
Mairearad, also a visual artist, enjoys combining her two passions - art and music. Her impressionistic painting style is very much a visceral response to the land she grew up in and for this album, she has created a unique series of ten mixed media artworks to accompany each track.
