Lifelong trad music fans Jamie, Ewan and Lachlan Maclean captured the world’s attention when they set a new record for rowing across the Pacific Ocean unsupported. Music was crucial to their miraculous journey, with Jamie famously playing the pipes in all conditions - even as they rowed into Cairns, Australia, after 139 days at sea.
Now, the pipe-playing rower will be shaking off the salt water to perform on home soil alongside siblings Lachlan on accordion and Ewan on guitar. The multi-talented trio from Edinburgh, who now live in Assynt, will welcome a host of Scottish trad talent who soundtracked their epic voyage for this special show.
Ross Ainslie and Duncan Chisholm, who released a charity single to aid the brothers’ efforts, will perform alongside high-octane outfit Valtos, and RURA, known for their epic, inspirational instrumentation. Stunning vocalist Siobhan Miller and Mull duo Sorren Maclean and Hannah Fisher will also make appearances across the night.
A Q&A session will kick things off, giving audiences the chance to hear first-hand about the brothers’ adventure and quest to raise £1 million for clean water projects in Madagascar.
