The Maket Collective aims to promote and amplify the voice and talent of influential female musicians through their stories and performances, allowing everyone, especially other women and girls in piping and drumming to take inspiration, empowerment to advance their own success. By providing this platform, it will promote wider visibility of women across the music community.
The six Maket Collective Ambassadors for 2024 are Andrea Boyd (piper), Brìghde Chaimbeul (piper), Mackenzie Forrest (snare drummer), Margaret Houlihan (piper), Sarah Staub (tenor drummer) and Hazel Whyte (piper).
Join some of our Ambassadors and Dr Andrew Bova for a light Q+A about their lives in piping and drumming!
