Gráinne’s music draws the listener in across fiddle & bow, across sea, sky, time and topography, the emotional landscapes and literature of the past lit by new spatial possibilities in traditional music. Her musical journey is as diverse as her educational background – an MSc Honours Maths Graduate with an Irish childhood steeped in folk music.
Gráinne’s style of music is tethered by tradition while spanning the sky-wide scope of a composer’s imagination.
Living in the heart of Glasgow’s trad music scene, Gráinne is a vital part of that great city’s musical pulse, relishing the creative milieu of community, where young players are writing new music, swapping tunes, drawing from the rich cultural lode of shared regional styles and identity. Creative collaborations include; The Routes Quartet, a folk string quartet ensemble, who were nominated ‘Folk Band of the Year’ in MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2017, Top Floor Taivers, a Scots and contemporary song band, and nominee in MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2016, and LAS; Scottish and Irish tunes, step-dance and Gaelic song.
