Marianne Campbell

Fiddle/Vocals

Born into a family of Gaelic musicians and pipers, Marianne is a talented singer and pianist in addition to her prowess on fiddle, having grown up immersed in the traditional culture of Barra, in the Outer Hebrides. She joined Deaf Shepherd in 1995, where her twin-fiddles partnership with Clare McLaughlin soon became one of the band's strongest signature assets, expressing her deep appreciation of the tunes with equal parts lyricism and drive. The two have also recently begun performing as a duo, cMc, with Marianne's other side projects including her involvement in the Cantychiels album, a well-received collaboration between members of several young Scottish bands
