The McCalmans

Making use of their Kingston Trio-like method of traditional Scottish music and uplifting three-part vocal harmonies, the McCalmans have already been in the forefront of Scottish folk music for a lot more than three-and-a-half decades. Furthermore to presenting released a lot more than 22 albums, the trio continues to be presented in six main tv series and several BBC network radio broadcasts. Created by multi-instrumentalist Ian McCalman on his 1st trip to Edinburgh College of Artwork, the McCalmans’ just personnel change arrived when Hamish Bayne was changed by acoustic guitar, mandolin, mouth body organ, and flageolet participant Nick Keir. The 3rd member continues to be Dundee-born and Fife-raised acoustic guitar, mandolin, and bodhran participant Derek Moffat. While McCalman mainly plays acoustic guitar and bodhran, a spotlight from the band’s shows is usually his playing what he phone calls a “weirdolin,” merging a 12-string electric guitar along with a Mexican gitarra.
