Gaelic singer Kim Carnie blends traditional Gaelic song with contemporary Scottish roots and cinematic folk soundscapes at The Barony Hall, part of Celtic Connections.
Kim Carnie plays The Barony Hall on Friday 22 January, as part of Celtic Connections. It's a night of Gaelic song and contemporary Scottish roots, with support opening the bill.
Carnie is an award-winning singer and composer from Oban, and The Scotsman once described her as a 'velvet-voiced authority'. Her work sits at the intersection of traditional Gaelic song and cinematic folk soundscapes, and she's spent much of her career collaborating across cultures and musical traditions. That's a good way to put it, because the names she's worked with run from the Transatlantic Sessions to Griot Royalty and Trio da Kali. She's also the lead singer of the award-winning band Mànran and a founding member of the experimental folk ensemble Staran.
Her music has reached audiences far beyond the folk circuit, too. Her voice has appeared on soundtracks for Netflix's Outlaw King and Black Mirror, and her solo discography includes the album And So We Gather, followed by A' Chailleach. The show is part of Celtic Connections, Glasgow's winter gathering for lovers of folk, Gaelic music and adventurous contemporary sounds.
