Scottish singer, songwriter, and accordionist Calum MacPhail is making waves with his vibrant fusion of traditional Scottish folk and Irish music. 

An exciting new presence on the Celtic live music scene, Calum first made his mark at just 16 when he founded the award-winning folk band Hò-rò, touring internationally and captivating audiences with his high-energy performances. Now, he brings his latest show to the stage alongside his talented band, fresh from the release of his acclaimed album ‘Highlands to Heartlands’, featuring the fan-favourite single ‘Bonnie Wee Jeannie.’

In the past two years, Calum has built a loyal fanbase through sold-out performances, including standout shows at the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness and appearances at the prestigious Royal Highland Show. His growing reputation has also led to support slots for some of Ireland’s biggest stars, including The Tumbling Paddies, Nathan Carter, and Derek Ryan. His success has extended across the Irish Sea, with numerous highly successful media and promotional tours of Ireland.
