Maeve Mackinnon is an award-winning young singer who has, in a few short years, emerged to become one of the leading Scottish folk musicians of her generation.

Since finalising for the BBC Radio Scotland “Young Traditional Musician of the Year” in 2005 and the release of her debut “Don’t Sing Lovesongs”, Maeve’s career has gone from strength to strength. Accolades have included “Classic Album” at Celtic Connections Festival 2008, “Up and Coming Artist of the Year” at the 2007 Scottish Trad Music Awards and a nomination for “Gaelic Singer of the Year” in 2008.
2010/11 have seen a number of high profile appearances, such as a sold out Glasgow Royal Concert Hall at Celtic Connections festival, work on a number of exciting shows including the acclaimed “Island Tapes”, 3 successful overseas tours with new trio “Cula” and the release of Michael McGoldrick’s “Future Trad Collective”, on which she features as a lead vocalist.
2012 is set to celebrate Maeve’s second solo album!
Maeve Mackinnon's second solo album will see collaborations with longtime friends and musicians such as world class guitarist, Innes Watson, producer and pianist Angus Lyon and several special guests. Containing echoes of “Don’t Sing Lovesongs”, whilst maintaining its own distinctive sound, the album is set for worldwide release on Valley Records in 2011.
