Hi folks, So, here we are, deep into Autumn, clocks have just changed and I’m reflecting on the tour and an amazing Summer. We had an intense three weeks of rehearsal in July, performing all three shows in August at the Edinburgh Fringe, then took Living Stone on the road for an 18-date Scottish tour in September. Creating these shows over the last 12 years has felt like a soul-contract request. That feeling that a thing has to be done.  So, ’tis

Hi folks, thanks so much for your support during the Edinburgh Fringe run of the Trilogy. It was a blast! No rest though. Starting on September 6th on the isle of Lismore is our Living Stone Scottish Tour. From Stranraer to Ullapool we’re hopefully coming to a place near you! More details here and below about the tour: https://mairicampbell.scot/whats-on/ Thank you for all your support for the Fringe run – filling in comments cards, coming along and letting others know too. Special thanks

Hi folks, So we’re almost half way through the Trilogy run. I feel that it’s going really well. Lots of positive responses from audiences and a 4 star review from Broadway World, baby! Those who have come to them all have expressed a sense of completeness with the three. The seeking of the first show, expression of the song through memory and mid life in the second, and the deeper, most contemplative and meditative show to complete the set. We’ve been

Hi folks, on Saturday I’m heading out to Bangalore to play music for Scottish-Indian storyteller Gauri Raje’s project, her version of the Mahabharata (Instagram link). It’s a Scottish Indian blend and such a thrill to be a part of. I’m slightly concerned about the heat (it’s in the mid 30s so my body won’t know what’s hit it!), but let’s not moan about the weather. I’m going to India!! Will try to remmeber to get some pics to share with you. As

Hi folks, I hope you had the festive break you needed and got some rest, peace and conviviality. 2025 is already looking to be a bumper year.  This is the start of my six months on Lismore. We arrived on the 2nd, went to the dance that night, which was the fantastic Lomond Ceilidh Band – what a swing!  Today I headed into the school to teach all nine children the violin. They now range from p1 to p7, so that’s a

Hi folks, Welcome to our mid-way-point-of-the-Fringe newsletter! Had a very chilled birthday on Sunday – apart from 10,000 steps and doing Sunday’s show. Then feet up, watched The OA. Birthday bliss. Hoping to catch a few more shows I haven’t seen yet at the Scottish Storytelling Centre. It’s good to be a part of a great wee tribe of performers there. And I’m very aware of how great the staff are. Always a smile on their faces and willing to do
