Stèidhichte sa Ghàidhealtachd bidh Cruinn a' tarraing ri chèile ceathrar de na seinneadairean Gàidhealach as fheàrr ann Alba an-diugh - Seumas Greumach, Fionnghail NicChoinnich, Brian Ó hEadhra is Raoghnaid Walker.  

Fa leth bidh gach seinneadair faighinn cliù is meas, agus mar Cruinn, bidh iad a' cruthachadh ceòl binn is tlachdmhòr; a' seinn òrain Gàidhlig bho dhualchais is òrain a sgrìobh iad fhèin.  Fàilte dhan làrach againne.  

The Highland based quartet Cruinn brings together four of Scotland's premier Gaelic singers - James Graham, Fiona Mackenzie, Brian Ó hEadhra and Rachel Walker.  

As individuals they have earned high distinction for their musicianship and performances. Collectively as Cruinn they have earned a reputation for their presentations of songs in Gaelic, both traditional and contemporary, and are admired for their outstanding use of harmonies and subtle arrangements.

Quotes

The Gaelic song quartet Cruinn – James Graham, Fiona Mackenzie, Rachel Walker and Brian Ó hEadhra – stunningly affirmed their supergroup credentials with both sublimely complementary vocals and spine-tingling contemporary reinventions of ancient material, together with beautifully crafted originals.
Scotsman - Review of Opening Blas Festival 2013 Concert
Strong clear melodies and beautifully full and mellow harmonies characterise Cruinn. (They) surpass expectations and provide a superb example of Gaelic song in the modern age. 

....what comes through is the eloquence and majesty of a culture and the atmosphere of the land, sea and sky from which such a wonderful musical experience stems.

Cruinn manage the difficult balance of staying true to their roots and retaining the spirit of the Gaelic culture, while also making their music accessible to a wider audience. Their work is a pleasure to listen to - emotive, heartfelt, but highly professional. A CD to be replayed frequently.
