Brighde Chaimbeul

Brighde Chaimbeul is a groundbreaking Scottish smallpipes player and composer rooted in the Gaelic traditions of her native Isle of Skye. Known for her hypnotic, drone-rich style, she reimagines centuries-old tunes with spellbinding energy, often weaving in minimalist and cross-cultural influences. A BBC Young Folk Award winner (2016), Chaimbeul gained wider acclaim with her 2019 debut *The Reeling*, which paired her virtuosic piping with rhythmic pulsing textures. Her 2023 album *Carry Them With Us* further expands her sound, collaborating with global musicians like Irish fiddler Aidan O’Rourke and incorporating Bulgarian folk harmonies. Whether breathing new life into melancholic Gaelic airs or crafting originals that feel ancient and fresh simultaneously, Chaimbeul’s music bridges tradition and innovation with warm, magnetic artistry.
