Projects
Box Club
“Box Club cement their growing stature as one of the best live acts around. The young musicians, from all over Scotland, find a way of getting the crowd bouncing around to accordions and a double-bass like it was a hip-hop club.” The Big Issue, Adam Forrest. (Hebridean Celtic Festival)

Composition
Mairearad is quickly becoming one of Scotland’s finest tune writers. Among the favourites are “Maggie West’s Waltz” and “Dram Behind the Curtain.” The latter recently recorded on Eddi Reader’s Burn’s Deluxe album.
Branching out from the traditional style of composition, in 2007, Mairearad wrote the music for the short film “Sea of Glass”. This gave Mairearad the impetus to write on a larger scale and at Celtic Connections this year, Mairearad’s New Voices Commission ‘Passing Places’ was sold out and said to be a highlight of the festival.
“The third, final, and undoubtedly best of this year’s New Voices series.”
Barry Gordon, The Scotsman.
