Ceitidh Mac

Ceitidh Mac (pronounced “Katie”, spelled the Gaelic way – think ceilidh with a T) is a Welsh-born, Tyneside-based alternative cellist/singer whose sound is original, absorbing & full of soul. Folk in her subtle observations of people & politics, jazz in her attention to groove & not sticking to the rules of songwriting. Ceitidh Mac makes cello/singing feel like its own genre. Think Arthur Russell who paved the way for cello/singing, Aldous Harding in the beauty of leaving the listener space to find their own meaning in the songs, think Joni Mitchell, alt.folk heroes This is the Kit, jazz political commentator Alabaster dePlume. People who carve their own sound world. Growing up in rural Pembrokeshire before moving to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Ceitidh has worked with Sam Grant (Richard Dawson, Pigsx7) on all her recordings to date. They have built an exciting foundation to continue with a debut record.
