Edinburgh-based a cappella group the Wild Myrtles was formed in February 2007. There are six of us: Aimee, Alison, Colleen, Frances, Holly and Sari. Together we delve into the rich harvest of traditional music all around the world, gathering songs from places as diverse as Scandanavia, Eastern Europe, Africa, USA and Britain, weaving a tapestry of songs to lift the spirit and touch the heart. Much of our material is arranged specially for us by our director, Frances.
We’ve sung in festivals in Dundee and Galway; Edinburgh venues such as The Lot and St Giles Cathedral; Leith Fm radio; Leith Folk Club; Milngavie Music Club; to glowing reviews!
“beautiful harmonies and superb renditions of a varied selection of world folk songs ….. enthusiasm, energy and some truly wonderful singing ….. from traditional Scottish to Africa via the Balkans” ..... “we can’t recommend them highly enough” ..... “a beautiful sound and the whole audience was wowed!” ..... “such gorgeous balanced voices”
We have a 5-track CD for sale for £5 (+ £1 p&p). If you'd like one, please e-mail us (see details below). And we've just finished recording our second CD, which we hope will be ready for sale in the next couple of weeks. Watch this space!
