About the Show
Anna Bhan: a brand new project from Rachel Newton and Mairearad Green touring from Oct 4-13 2024.
Rachel and Mairearad, both well established and celebrated Scottish musicians, are also cousins. They have come together for an exciting new project to celebrate and remember their Great-Grandmother Anna Bhan’s involvement in the successful women-led Coigach resistance of 1852 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 and have made a beautiful duo album, due for release in the Autumn of 2024. Expect songs in both Gaelic and English, pipes, accordion, harp and fiddle.
