Mairi enjoyed singing from an early age in Gaelic and in 1982 became one of the youngest winner of the prestigious Gold Medal at the National Mod in Skye. She achieved this at her first attempt. The following year Mairi won the Pan Celtic Festival in Killarney, Ireland. Since then, Mairi has become a well established singer and is often heard on T.V. and Radio. In fact, no Gaelic music programme would be complete without Mairi MacInnes. |
