Brìghde Chaimbeul + Loula Yorke

**Brìghde Chaimbeul**

Brìghde Chaimbeul (pronounced Bree-chu Chaym-bul)) is one of the most exciting musical minds in the world of Celtic folk today. She’s a master of the Scottish smallpipes – the bellows-blown, mellower and more emotive cousin to the famous Great Highland bagpipes – and she’s taken them to the global stage. A native Gaelic speaker from the Isle of Skye, Brìghde roots her music in her language and culture. She rose to prominence as a prodigy of traditional music, but has since begun a journey to take the smallpipes into uncharted territory.

Her third album “Sunwise”, to be released in June this year, includes guests on uilleann pipes and organ, as well as Canadian composer Colin Stetson (saxophone) and her father Aonghas Phàdraig (spoken word) and brother Eòsaph (vocals). Extending the fearless, experimental ethos of her lauded 2023 album "Carry Them With Us,” Brìghde Chaimbeul's new music continues to push the boundaries and expectations of both experimental and traditional sonics.

**Loula Yorke

**Loula Yorke is a UK-based composer, sound artist and modular synthesist. Debuting with YSMYSMYSM on Detroit label Junted back in 2019, she’s become increasingly prolific over the years, and in 2024 alone dropped the hypnotically looping Volta album on Truxalis to critical acclaim.
