Description
Mairearad and Anna return to The Drouthy Cobbler.
Two of Scotland's most revered multi-instrumentalists, Mairearad Green (accordion and bagpipes) and Anna Massie (guitar, banjo, fiddle) are a truly captivating duo, providing a highly energetic performance with an instantly warm and friendly stage presence.
"a superb instrumental duo" Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
"You guys were killing it … amazing playing!" KT Tunstall
Having played alongside each other for over ten years, they revel in an intuitive approach to each other's musical ideas and interpretations, and an "almost telepathic communication" on stage (Hi-Arts), where they create "music more than the sum of just two parts" (The Scotsman), effortlessly showcasing the fruits of duo partnership to the highest level.
Now based in Glasgow, Mairearad and Anna both grew up in the Scottish Highlands amidst very similar musical backgrounds (most notably, mandolin playing Dads!), and so share an innate understanding of Scottish culture and music. As a duo they have enjoyed many successes, including five stars in The Scotsman and high praise from KT Tunstall, becoming a much-loved live act.
Their two albums – 2009's eponymous debut, and Doubling in 2013 – have both met wide critical acclaim. Mairearad and Anna was recorded live, just the two musicians – the live double act – whilst Doubling features many layered tracks, building a more complex sound, though still just from the two musicians. At the heart of Doubling remains the live duo sets, intricately arranged and executed with symbiotic sympathy, enhancing their "must-see" reputation.
Both award-winners, Mairearad and Anna can also, individually, be seen performing with a number of well-known bands and artists; The Poozies, Blazin' Fiddles, Bella Hardy, and Box Club, and together they join Scotland's one and only Celtic Big Band, The Unusual Suspects.
"...the camaraderie and sheer fun of musical collaboration is plainly evident and infectious." Songlines
"full of energy and verve….first class" R2 Magazine
"An exuberant, beautifully recorded album…crisp, clean and crystalline." fRoots
"The young Scottish duo of accordionist Mairearad Green and Anna Massie, on guitar and banjo…in sparkling style, performed largely original material with frequent playfulness of delivery… belying their formidable technical prowess, in music that seemed much more than the sum of just two parts" ***** (FIVE STARS) The Scotsman
