A native of the Isle of Mull, Mimi grew up influenced by the West coast style.

 

Mimi music can often be sweet and romantic, but sometimes its as wild as Mulls dramatic landscapes, a place where jagged highlands meet rolling glens and rugged coastlines. 

 

Drawing influence from a music with its own unique rich history and tradition, the Mimi Music sound is bold and stirring.

 

Mimi spent 2 years resident at The National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music a place where talented young traditional musicians can come and develop their skills to the full. She is now preparing to enter her first year at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to study BMus (Hons) Traditional Music

 

 

Look out for Mimi leading sessions at 'Hootananny Inverness' an award winning pub and live music venue, or maybe shadow teaching for Feis Rois or performing at various places in the highlands. When Mimi is back on Mull you can find her playing locally at gatherings, ceilidhs, for dances, Christmas events, weddings, Burns night events, private functions and supporting visiting professional musicians.

 

 

Musical Interests are very wide and varied with a keen interest in all things Scottish and Traditional.

 

Mimi has attended many music workshops including visits to  Blazin in Beauly, attendance at the Feis in Acharacle, Feis in Ullapool, Feis in Oban, Nicola Benedetti in Dundee, online SCAT meetings, Ian Lothian tune writing in Etrick Bridge, Fiddle workshops at Resipole, and on the Isle of Mull. YEP - A youth engagement programme and performance at the Edinburgh Fiddle 
Festival. Participation in the Feis Rois ceilidh trail.

 

 

 .... somewhere along the way came Lockdown, and with it... an opportunity to practice everyday at home and develop a style and join the numerous Zoom workshops run by the FieFèisean nan Gàidheal, Scottish Youth camp and Blazoom in Beauly.
