Nan Moor's presents...Brìghde Chaimbeul + Bridget Hayden + Tritor

Brìghde Chaimbeul (Breech-uh Campbell) is a leading purveyor of celtic experimentalism and a master of the Scottish smallpipes; a bellows-blown, mellower cousin to the famous Highland bagpipes. A native Gaelic speaker, Brìghde roots her music in her language and culture. She rose to prominence as a prodigy of traditional music, but has since begun a journey to take the smallpipes into unchartered territory.
