CÀRNAN is an upcoming and energetic Scottish indie folk duo with a funkier take on trad. The indisputable synergy of lively accordion (Louden MacKay) backed by thunderous guitar (Arthur Brook) gives the band a powerful and driven sound.
The fusion of contemporary original tunes and songs, along with a firm connection to the music and culture of their roots (Highlands, Glasgow, and Ireland to name a few) gives them a fresh and unique position within the music scene in Scotland.
The group released their first singles during 2022 - two original instrumental sets, “Calmac Kenny” and “Donnie the Highlander”, a cover of John Martyn's “Over the Hill” and their own take on a traditional Gaelic song “Fionnlagh”. All received airtime across UK radio stations including BBC Radio Scotland’s “Travelling Folk” presented by Anna Massie and Bruce McGregor.
