Caim - Heather Innes & Jacynth Hamill
A Cappella songs, celtic prayers, folk and traditional Irish and Scottish Music
Caim offer a unique and wonderful expression of Celtic music with world music influences and a rich ecumenical thread running throughout. They sing beautiful and inspirational songs from all the Celtic countries but with firm Irish and Scottish influences, songs both contemporary and traditional including Gaelic, Irish and Folk, notably their outstanding rendition of the Gaelic Gregorian chant, 'Deus Meus Adiuva Me'.
Heather Innes and Jacynth Hamill's vocals are a euphony of sound that is is a refreshing and melodious treat for the ear with an amazing selection of instruments from their backing musicians, including harp, percussion, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, accordion and keyboards.
Caim's music soothes the soul and brings our inner selves to a resounding peace. It reminds us all of our Celtic connections to beauty, peace and inner strength as well as the delight of joyous, traditional Celtic and ceilidh music that prompts the fun loving soul within to get the feet tapping and jigging.
About Caim
Heather Innes from Scotland and Jacynth Hamill from Ireland, sing together as 'Caim - a capella Celtic Christian Duo'. Originating in 1998 Heather and Jacynth created their first album 'Caim, Sung Prayers in the Celtic Tradition' . The album is based on the published works of Rev. David Adam of Lindisfarne, in the Celtic tradition.
Caim concerts are typically a mix of sung prayers, traditional Irish and Scottish songs, stories and dance. Heather has toured throughout the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, North America and Canada, as a duo with Ciaran Dorris and Caim. She has released many CDs including work with other musicians and bands. Jacynth is based in Belfast and features as a soloist with the Corrymeela Singers and is an active member of Ceol le Ceile cross-community choir.
