About Rachel Newton & Mairearad Green - Anna Bhan - Album Release Tour
Mairearad Green and Rachel Newton, are both well established and celebrated Scottish musicians, they are also cousins. Their mothers hailing from Achnahaird, Coigach in the Northwest Highlands, where Mairearad was also brought up. Despite having played music together both informally and professionally over the years as part of various groups and projects, this is the first piece of work they’ve made as a duo.
They have come together to celebrate and remember their Great-Great-Grandmother Anna Bhàn's involvement in the successful women-led Coigach resistance*(see below) of 1852/53 during the Highland Clearances. Inspired by recent community plans to build a sculpture in honour of these women in the area, they composed a body of work together in Coigach in the summer of 2023 and together with producer Andy Bell, have recorded an album, due for release in the Autumn of 2024.
