Tha Gary Innes agus Eòghainn MacEanraig am measg nan luchd-ciùil thraidiseanta as cliùitiche ann an Alba. A bharrachd air an obair aca leis a’ chòmhlan Mànran, a tha aithnichte gu h-eadar-nàiseanta, thug na cuirmean aca mar dhithis iad à Casagstan gu Shanghai, agus fiù ’s air turas cuimhneachail air costa an iar Ameireagaidh ann am Mustang fosgailte.
Freumhaichte ann an dualchas ciùil beairteach Loch Abair, tha an ceòl agus an sgeulachdan a’ tarraing air an togail agus air na turasan aca fhèin.
Rugadh Gary ann an Drochaid an Aonachain agus thòisich e air a’ bhogsa a chluich aig aois ochd bliadhna. Bhon uair sin tha e air grunn chlàran cliùiteach fhoillseachadh. Tha e cuideachd na phreasantair ainmeil air BBC Radio Scotland, far am bi e a’ lìbhrigeadh nam prògraman Take the Floor agus Your Requests with Gary Innes gach seachdain.
Rugadh Eòghainn sa Ghearasdan, agus bha e air a bhogadh ann an cultar na Gàidhlig agus ceòl traidiseanta bho aois òg. Thòisich e air an fhidheall aig còig bliadhna a dh’aois, agus lean e air ag ionnsachadh iomadh ionnstramaid eile, bho stiùir luchd-ciùil ainmeil na Gàidhealtachd an Iar, nam measg Aonghas Grannd Snr.
Nan dithis, tha Gary agus Eòghainn a’ toirt sàr cheòl, àbhachdas agus seanchasan, agus spiorad na Gàidhealtachd gu luchd-èisteachd ge bith càite am bi iad a’ cluich.
Gary Innes and Ewen Henderson have become two of Scotland’s most respected traditional musicians. Alongside their work with the internationally acclaimed band Mànran, their duo performances have taken them from Kazakhstan to Shanghai and even on a memorable tour of the American West Coast in a convertible Mustang.
Rooted in the rich musical traditions of Lochaber, their music and storytelling draw on both their upbringing and their travels.
Born in Spean Bridge, Gary began playing accordion at the age of eight and has since released several critically acclaimed albums. He is also a well-known BBC presenter, hosting BBC Radio Scotland’s Take the Floor and Your Requests with Gary Innes each week.
Fort William-born Ewen was immersed in Gaelic culture and traditional music from an early age. Beginning on fiddle at five, he went on to master multiple instruments, learning from renowned West Highland musicians, including Aonghas Grant Snr.
Together, Gary and Ewen combine world-class musicianship, humour and storytelling, bringing the spirit of the Highlands to audiences wherever they perform.
