Brìghde Chaimbeul (pronounced Breech-huh Campbell) has set the world of Celtic music alight. She pairs mastery of the Scottish smallpipes with a creative, forward-looking approach to the Scottish Gaelic music tradition that has gained her a devoted international fanbase.  

Chaimbeul joins forces with Scottish Ensemble, a group of string players renowned for their ambitious cross-genre collaborations. Stunning visuals are provided by filmmaker Jonny Ashworth, one of the creators of Brìghde’s haunting and memorable music videos.  

Together, their performance blends new and traditional tunes, electronic sound and bewitching footage of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. It's an exploration of Celtic mythology and storytelling, music emerging from a deep, earthy soundscape of heavy drones. If you’re new to the distinctive sound of the smallpipes, there’s no better place to start.
