One musician’s extraordinary tale…. “A consummate musician, Mairi Campbell in her one-woman show Pulse reveals her formidable acting and storytelling talents as she explores the very essence of what it is to be a musician in this very thoughtprovoking and moving journey.“ “When you play we’re on your side. The music touches us and makes us care how the story ends.” …of finding her way back home “When you walked into the animation I could really feel the emotional trauma.” “The dots took me back to primal stuff: something really raw.” “The thing about a pendulum is that its time - the pulse - is retained irrespective of what’s happening around it………..or where it is.” “It’s the rhythm inside of us which is often lost when we grow up. It’s eternal: we’re not going to lose it once we remember.” “Connecting the elements and the land and the way it breathes and the nature of Scotland…I went through a huge range of emotions.” Mairi is passionate about sharing her love of music and combines performing with teaching and writing. ● Scots Singer of the Year 2009 – MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards ● Tutor of the Year 2012 – MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards ● Female Musician of the Year – Liveireland 2010 ● Composition of the year – Liveireland 2010 ● Burnsong winner – 2010 ● Neil Gow composition award - Overall winner 2011 ● Her voice was heard worldwide when, in 2008, her version of Auld Lang Syne (with David Francis) was used in the blockbuster movie ‘Sex and The City’. We have all stood back and looked at what’s happening in Scotland with surprise and excitement – there’s an energy, an awakening. Well-known and loved as a heartfelt folk singer and versatile fiddler, Mairi’s journey to find Scotland’s “Pulse” captures the struggle between long-established traditions and the need to create flow and new forms for where we are now. Mairi fearlessly drives into the unknown, a mistress of her instruments, viola and voice. The result has both a sense of the eternal ‘now’ whilst being absolutely relevant to this moment, these times, our culture and the meaning of music, rhythm and word within it.
