Eriskay Lilt

Eriskay Lilt is a duo well-rooted in the fertile musical landscapes of Scotland's Western Isles. Comprising husband and wife team Donny and Marie MacInnes, the group derives its name from the small island of Eriskay where they have strong family connections. Known for their crisp, entwined vocal harmonies and adept instrumentation, Eriskay Lilt has become synonymous with the traditional and contemporary Celtic music scene. The use of accordion and guitar, coupled with their resonant vocals, often evoke the rugged beauty and romanticism of the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

Over the years, they've carved out a niche for themselves by blending classic Gaelic songs with modern folk influences. Their recent releases like "Allan 'One' Mackechnie," a tribute to a cherished member of their community, and "Home To Me," a reflection on the poignant themes of kinship and belonging, showcase their versatility and depth. Their music, including tracks such as "From Eriskay to Donegal" and "Dreaming In the West," is often a heartfelt journey through Celtic landscapes, capturing the essence of the migrations and cultural exchanges between Scotland and Ireland. With "Just A Little Bit," Eriskay Lilt continues to display their talent for infusing traditional tunes with contemporary sensibilities, ensuring that the rich tapestry of folk music is both preserved and refreshed for new audiences. Their commitment to their craft and love for their heritage has cemented Eriskay Lilt's place within the pantheon of beloved folk musicians who are keeping the Celtic tradition alive and thriving.
