Isobel Ann Martin, or "Bellann" to her friends, is a traditional Gaelic singer living on the Isle of Lewis off of the coast of Scotland. At the age of 18 she won the Traditional Gold Medal at The Royal National Mod. Despite her tremendous early success, Bellann has kept a low profile, with only a few CDs and television appearances, focusing instead on her career as a nurse and motherhood.
I’m delighted to introduce you to Isobel Ann Martin, or “Bellann” to her friends. Bellann is the daughter of Calum Martin, who was featured in my last episode, and is also a remarkable traditional Gaelic singer - the first time I heard her sing was when she submitted vocal tracks for one of my songs in my upcoming album, Psalms: Hyssop & Snow, and I was blown away by the purity of her voice and the amazing vocal embellishments that are one of the hallmarks of Gaelic singing.
