Garnock Valley Pipes and Drums are collaborating once again with the wonderful Live Music Now Scotland for a fun, interactive, session for young children with the fantastic Mairi McGillivray and Katie Allen! Parents and carers don’t need a ticket; but must accompany their child. Mairi McGillivray (voice + fiddle) and Katie Allen (guitar + fiddle) are a folk duo based in Glasgow putting their own style on songs from their Tradition in Gaelic, Scots and other traditional styles. Through Live Music Now Scotland, they aim to take audiences on a musical and emotional journey through their songs and tunes as well as trying to connect with each individual audience by incorporating songs they would be familiar with. Mairi and Katie met while studying at the prestigious Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2015 and have performed together at various events and festivals in Scotland since then, most recently playing at Islay Sessions 2022. As well as their work together, they both have other exciting endeavours separately.
Learn new tunes, meet new people and work alongside musicians in a fun, friendly and totally relaxed setting.
