MAIK

Event information

MAIK are a brand new folk duo from either side of the Scotland/England border. Two experienced folk singers in their own right, Jamie Cook and Kirsty Law have joined forces to bring some of their most beloved songs together. Through their arrangements they tell stories both ancient and contemporary, in harmonies that are at times stark and dissonant, and at times warm and lush - in a mix of Scots language, Cumbrian

"There’s something eerie and uncanny about the music of MAIK, with the harmonies of Kirsty Law and Jamie Cook moving from sublime to unsettling and back. This is folk music which is steeped in the tradition, and understands exactly what that means."
Alistair Braidwood, Scots Whay Hae
