Folk Bands and Artists
Màiri Morrison and Alasdair Roberts
Drawing on the pioneering work of Nova Scotian folklorist Helen Creighton (1899-1989), who collected traditional songs on Canada’s eastern seaboard, Remembered in Exile features songs with Scottish roots: musical artefacts of the westward
journey undertaken by Scots as they migrated to Canada from the 1600s to the mid-1800s.
A native of the Isle of Lewis, Màiri takes the lead on a handful of Gaelic language songs, mostly collected in Cape Breton, while Alasdair leads on some Canadian variants of Scots ballads
