THE BARRA MACNEILS

Barra MacNeils. Folk/Celtic pop band. From Sydney Mines, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the siblings Kyle (b 21 Apr 1963), Lucy (b 24 Oct 1968), Sheumas (b 26 Oct 1961), and Stewart (b 20 Oct 1964) MacNeil formed the Barra MacNeils as 10- to 20-year-old students in 1980, naming it after the MacNeil clan's ancestral home on the Scottish island of Barra. The Barra MacNeils initially performed mainly on weekends and on tours during school holidays, as well as on local radio and TV shows. Members of the group also studied music at Mount Allison University. The Barra MacNeils provide a leading example of Celtic music, performing a combination of traditional songs (some in Gaelic), storytelling, and pop/folk songs inspired by that tradition.
