Anam
Since its formation in 1993, Anam has been delighting audiences throughout the world with their eclectic mixture of traditional and original songs and tunes, which are drawn not only from the Scottish & Irish idiom, but also from other musical influences including jazz, country, singer/songwriter, Eastern European and other world music.
Anam's line up has some of the most acclaimed and skilled musicians and singers to come out of Scotland and Ireland in recent years. The members, each of whom are well known in there own right, are: Brian Ó hEadhra: vocals, guitar; Fiona Mackenzie: vocals; Gordon Gunn: fiddle, mandolin; Nuala Kennedy: vocals, flute & whistles
Music critics often comment on the strength of their arrangements of traditional and contemporary songs and tunes. Anam’s popularity with all ages and musical tastes has been attributed to this refreshing approach, along with the band's original compositions and the stunning vocal harmonies.
Anam continue to record, tour and play to new audiences around the world. Over the past 13 years Anam have played major international festivals and venues and have performed numerous times on TV & Radio at home and abroad. Anam have recorded 5 albums over the past 9 years.
