Pàdruig Morrison, an acclaimed accordionist and composer from Grimsay in the North Uist, presents his debut solo album, Buin, along with Mischa MacPherson, Alasdair Whyte, Rory Matheson, and Micheal Steele.
A 2020 finalist in the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year, Pàdruig’s music is deeply rooted in his inherited Gaelic oral tradition. He effortlessly straddles the worlds of Scottish traditional music and contemporary classical composition, a synthesis he explored in his PhD research. Performing regularly with his band Beinn Lee, his music is a powerful, innovative voice connecting his Gaelic heritage with new compositional horizons.
His debut solo album Buin (title meaning ‘belong) – released 25.01.26 – is a culmination of years of tunewriting, songwriting and deep reflection on our relationship to land, place, culture, and the Gaelic language. Pàdruig will share new and enchanting Gaelic songs sung by Mischa and Alasdair alongside a wide range of new tunes alongside Rory Matheson and Micheal Steele.
