Mairead Green and Rachel Newton


Rachel and Mairearad, both well established and celebrated Scottish musicians, are
also cousins. They have come together for an exciting new project to celebrate and
remember their Great Great-Grandmother Anna Bhán's involvement in the
successful women-led Coigach resistance of 1852 during the Highland Clearances.

Inspired by recent community plans to build a sculpture in honour of these women
in the area, they composed a body of work together in Coigach and have made a
beautiful duo album, released in the Autumn of 2024. Expect songs in both Gaelic
and English, pipes, accordion, harp and fiddle.
