Mischa Macpherson Trio
Mischa Macpherson is a BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Winner and will be appearing on the All Time Grates Stage on Sunday 7th.
Despite her tender age of 22, Lewis-born singer Mischa Macpherson has already scooped several major UK folk awards – a fitting testament to her music’s pure-distilled expressiveness and radiant vitality. Named Gaelic Singer of the Year at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music awards and BBC Radio 2’s Young Folk Award Winner her following is fast growing.
Having grown up immersed in the distinctive culture of the Outer Hebrides, she unearthed her love for music and Gaelic at a very early age, and it is these influences that the young singer now presents with clarity and tenderness to audiences around the world.
Mischa has performed in Australia, Canada, Germany, Holland, Scandinavia and Romania, as well as to leading UK folk festivals in front of crowds as large as 20,000 people (Fairport’s Cropredy Convention). Her music was brought to the forefront of the UK’s wider musical audience after a live session on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 3 in 2014 and she has since collaborated in a handful of world music commissions with the likes of Galician piper Carloz Nunez and Pakistani siblings Suraj and Chad Khan.

By some magic, I have been nominated for Composer of the Year at the Scots trad music awards 🙈🎉
Voting is open to the public here: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/scotstrad2019
Over the last 18 months, I’ve done so much more composing than I’d ever imagined. From curling up in a ball (no joke) the night before the tour of my Blas Festival commission last year; to breaking into a cold sweat as I stepped into the role of musical director for theatre piece ‘Hebridean Treasure’; to considering a one way ticket to Hawaii before I walked onto stage for my New Voices concert at Celtic Connections - it feels very surreal to be up for this award! I can’t thank everyone enough for their continued support and encouragement, especially all the incredible musicians I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the last year. It has been an absolute pleasure 🥰
Partner in crime - Kim Carnie - is also up for Gaelic Singer of the Year in category 9 🤩 If you'd like to vote here is the link: (it closes on the 24th of November): www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/scotstrad2019

Wonderful concert
Brilliant Mischa.

It’s Mòd week! 🎉 I’ll be hosting a song session at the Òran Mór TONIGHT with this chick (Kim Carnie) from 10pm - come along and bring instruments & voices! Funny to think we first met at the mòd exactly 18 years ago and competed against each other as arch enemies year in, year out. It’s an absolute honour for us both to be adjudicating at the competitions this week and listening to the amazing talent in the Gaelic world.
TOMORROW evening I’ll also be performing at The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall as part of the ‘Glasgow Gold Concert’ with Alistair Iain Paterson, Charlie Stewart & Ankna Arockiam. Tix available here: bit.ly/2oK4scH
Gur math thèid dhuibh uile and see you at the other end! x
