Blas Festival gig: Faoinsgeul Loch Maruibhe - The Loch Maree Legend with Brian Ó hEadhra | Fionnag NicChoinnich
Faoinsgeul Loch Maruibhe, The Legend of Loch Maree, is the Blas 2026 commission by leading Highland fiddle player Graham MacKenzie. The work is inspired by a print by the late Margaret Robertson, which hung in the home where Graham grew up and first introduced him to the story.
Robertson’s image depicts the Legend of Loch Maree: a tragic Highland tale of a local princess who falls in love with Olaf, a Norwegian prince. With its themes of love, misunderstanding and loss, the story is often described as a Highland echo of Romeo and Juliet.
The newly composed music and traditional songs will represent the themes of loyalty, love, longing, bravery, betrayal and mystery.
Brian Ó hEadhra and Fionnag NicChoinnich perform traditional and contemporary songs from the Gaelic, Scots, and Irish traditions, inspired by the North Atlantic fringe.
Based in Inverness, the duo brings together Brian’s roots in Newfoundland and Dublin with Fionnag’s upbringing on the Isle of Lewis. Over 25 years, they have performed globally, recording for film, gaming, and acclaimed acts like Anam, Cruinn, and Mackenzie. Fionnag was named MG ALBA Gaelic Singer of the Year in 2020, following Brian’s nomination in 2019.

Moteh Parrott (with Kathy and Marc Rollins-McKie) Moteh Parrott
Moteh Parrott is an Edinburgh-based alternative-indie-folk artist from The Highlands via Africa.
Alternative indie-folk from the Highlands, via Edinburgh and Cameroon. Moteh Parrott was shortlisted for the BBC Scotland Singer-songwriter Award in 2019.
Born in Cameroon to parents working in rainforest conservation and given the local name ‘Mnkongmoteh’, his music compliments Celtic-infused guitars and cello with lyrics of hope and healing.
Moteh released his debut album, The Stones are Merely Sleeping, last September, which was recorded with Paul Savage, producer of Mogwai, Arab Strap and King Creosote, among other renowned Scottish artists. The album features collaborations with Rachel Sermanni, Ryan Young and Nicky Murray.
Moteh has performed at Celtic Connections, and on the main stage at Belladrum.
His music has been likened to "a Highland wilderness with all the sweeping colour and spirit which that encompasses".
For this gig at Resolis, Moteh will be joined by two members of his band, Kathleen Rollins-McKie on cello and Marc Rollins-McKie on drums. They will be playing music from the album The Stones are Merely Sleeping, some covers and some new work.
