Carol-Anne Mackay

 

 

 

Having been born and brought up in the North Coast area, I am very interested to be involved in such a project and to be able to be part of a team that will research and preserve any information and music from the area.

 

I have really enjoyed being part of two other local projects, Urachach and Drine, both celebrating music and Gaelic song from Mackay Country.  I believe it is so important to preserve the music and song of our area so that we can pass it on and allow it to survive for future generations.

 

I have experience teaching music to both adults and children and have also worked as a co-ordinator for various different music projects in the past. 

Several of my compositions have been recorded on cd’s and used in tv and radio broadcasts in the past.  I enjoy writing tunes and like to keep them sounding as traditional and true to my musical roots as I can.

 

Qualifications I have include a degree in Scottish Traditional Music from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and an NC in Gaelic studies from Sabhal Mor Ostaig.  My main instruments are the Highland bagpipes and Accordion although I have been known to play others too!!
