Brìghde Chaimbeul and Ross Ainslie with Steven Byrnes

Folk Weekend 2023

Award-winning Piper Brìghde Chaimbeul, musician and composer Ross Ainslie, and Irish guitarist/drummer Steven Byrnes team up for an innovative instrumental collaboration showcasing the Scottish smallpipes.


Brìghde Chaimbeul and Ross Ainslie, established award-winning musicians in their own rights, started working together four years ago focusing on double C smallpipes. With this new trio including Steven Byrnes (bouzouki, guitar), they play material from all around the world, music not conventionally heard or played on the Scottish smallpipes. New album LAS features mesmeric, plaintive tunes alongside ecstatic, uplifting grooves from France, Scotland, Bulgaria, Ireland as well as original compositions.

“With LAS, Brìghde Chaimbeul, Ross Ainslie and Steven Byrnes have delivered a highly accomplished album that, probably more than any other you’ll hear this year, unifies innovation and tradition.” Thomas Blake (Folk Radio).

This performance will last approximately 2 hours including an interval.
