Mairi Campbell

Mairi Campbell is a Scottish folk musician and composer known for her soulful fiddle playing and warm vocals that breathe new life into traditional Celtic music. Based in Edinburgh, this versatile artist has carved out a unique space where centuries-old Scottish traditions meet contemporary creativity. Fans might recognize her haunting arrangement of "Auld Lang Syne," which gained international attention after featuring in the *Sex and the City* movie, but her original works like "Storm" and "Living Stone" showcase her gift for crafting emotionally resonant modern folk songs.

Whether performing solo or collaborating with other artists, Campbell's music often carries a strong sense of place and community, with tracks like "I Come from the Sea" and "Pull Me Up" reflecting her deep connection to Scottish landscapes and culture. Her playful side shines through in whimsical tracks like "I Want to Build a Band That Sounds Like Jimmy Shand," proving traditional music can be both respectful of its roots and refreshingly inventive. A graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, she continues to be a vital force in Scotland's folk scene, blending storytelling, social commentary, and ceilidh-ready melodies.
