Top Scottish duo – Mairi Campbell and Mairi Campbell

Mairi Campbell and Dave Francis are the multi-talented Scottish duo known as The Cast, who came into being when they joined forces after meeting each other in the burgeoning traditional music and dance scenes in Edinburgh. They have recorded two previous albums on the Culburnie label The Winnowing (CUL 104) and Colours of Lichen (CUL 109) – both available in the Greentrax catalogue. The Cast have performed extensively throughout the UK and Ireland, in Norway, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy and North America. The Cast are regular broadcasters on BBC Radio Scotland, performing live and in recorded sessions and have performed on radio and TV in Scotland, England, Spain, Germany and the USA. In 1999 The Cast performed their classic rendition of Auld Lang Syne, as recorded on The Winnowing, on the US TV special Kennedy Center Honors. The programme honoured fellow Scot Sean Connery and among the many prestigious guests attending this annual holiday event were The President and Mrs. Clinton.
