Description
Top female Gaelic singer.
âMargaret Stewart has a long established reputation as one of the finest of Gaelic singers. A native of the Island of Lewis she grew up in a community of singers and appreciative audiences, including her own family. Her rich inheritance of song ranged from lullabies, laments and waulking songs to the compositions of local bards and songs of far-travelled sailors who often expressed their longing for their native island and their love for the girl they left behind. Margaret has never deserted her heritage but has gone on to extend her repertoire with songs from other areas and, in addition, entered the world of professional music. Her success there was crowned by her winning the Gold Medal at the National Mod, where singers are assessed by adjudicators whose criteria are on the whole quite different from the conventions of traditional singers. Few have succeeded in moving with such apparent ease from one musical environment to another.
