Catherine-Ann MacPhee

Catherine-Ann MacPhee grew up in Eoligarry on Barra, singing at ceilidhs before the island had mains electricity. At seventeen she joined the Gaelic touring theatre company Fir Chlis, and she later toured widely with 7:84. Her first album, Cànan nan Gàidheal, came out on Greentrax in 1987 and its title song became a Gaelic anthem. She now lives in Nova Scotia.
