’S ann on Ghàidhealtachd a tha Kentra, dithis a' bhios a' cluich ceòl folk na h-Alba a tha a-nis stèidhichte ann an Glaschu. 'S iad Ceit NicLeòid (fidheall) agus Amy Naulls (piàno).
Bha Ceit air a cuartachadh le ceòl tradiseanta on a bha i òg, a’ gabhail pàirt ann am pròiseactan mar Fèis a’ Bhaile agus Fèis Rois. Tha i air a bhi na ball de Shlighe Chèilidh Fhèis Rois airson dà bhliadhna agus tha i air cluich còmhla ri Capercaille ann an Cathair-eaglais Inbhir Nis agus aig fèillean mar Belladrum agus Fèill Folk Chambridge.
’S e oileanach air an treas bliadhna aig Conservatoire Rìoghail na h-Alba a th’ ann an Amy, le cuideam sònraichte air piano traidiseanta. A thuilleadh air a bhith na h-oileanach, bidh i a’ cluich còmhla ri diofar chluicheadaran agus còmhlain aig grunn fhèillean, mar The Reeling agus The Gathering.
Len diofar chultaran ciùil agus an aon thlachd ann an ceòl folk, tha iad air tighinn còmhla gus fuaim ùr, sònraichte a chruthachadh, a’ toirt ùrachadh bheòthail air an stoidhle thraidiseanta.
Eabhal have made a significant impact on the Scottish music scene with their vibrant and energetic folk music. Their distinctive West Coast sound and dedication to Gaelic and English folk songs have earned them a prestigious Folk Band of the Year nomination in the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2022 amongst other awards and nominations over the past 10 years.
Eabhal’s focus on kinship and connection to people, land, elevation and language are reflected in their music. Coming from different backgrounds and places, each member was immersed in traditional music, and their collective passion is evident in their performance.
Kentra is a Scottish folk duo, originally from the Highlands and now based in Glasgow. The duo is comprised of fiddle (Kate Macleod) and piano (Amy Naulls).
Growing up surrounded by traditional music, Kate began playing fiddle at a young age, taking part in various projects such as Fèis a' Bhaile and Fèis Rois. She has since been a participant of the Fèis Rois Ceilidh Trail for two years and has played alongside Capercaillie at the Inverness Cathedral and at festivals such as Belladrum and the Cambridge Folk Festival.
Amy is currently in her third year of studies at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, studying trad piano. Alongside her studies at RCS, she enjoys playing with various artists and bands at festivals and gigs including The Reeling and The Gathering.
With their contrasting musical backgrounds and shared love of folk music, they have come together to create a fresh and distinct sound, showcasing a vibrant take on the traditional style.
