WHYTE comprises Gaelic singer-songwriter Alasdair C. Whyte and electronic composer and musician Ross Whyte. They perform new arrangements of rarely-heard traditional Gaelic songs, original instrumental pieces and original Gaelic songs. Their new Gaelic song, ‘Cionran’, received the 2017 Hands Up for Trad / Creative Scotland Nòs Ùr Songwriting Award. Their stage show, “Fairich: Live”, is a musical, historical and visual tour of Scotland based around the duo’s debut album. An immersive, cinematic experience, the show is a live performance of the album with projected visuals (by video artist Dan Shay) of key motifs, landscapes and seascapes relating to the Gaelic lyrics. “Fairich: Live” premièred at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2017.
