MAIK are a brand new folk duo from either side of the Scotland/England border. Two experienced folk singers in their own right, Jamie Cook and Kirsty Law have joined forces to bring some of their most beloved songs together. Through their arrangements they tell stories both ancient and contemporary, in harmonies that are at times stark and dissonant, and at times warm and lush – in a mix of Scots language, Cumbrian dialect and English.
Join MAIK at the festival for a PERFORMANCE an informal WORKSHOP on singing in harmony and in dialect. No prior singing exerience necessary! Just come along and join in.
“There’s magic in the music of MAIK which tends towards the dark side. In these hands the folk traditions are alive and kicking.” Alistair Braidwood – Scots Whay Hae!
“Innovation, whilst still respecting the tradition… creative singers and players.” Archie Fisher
