Pàdruig Morrison
Based in NA H-EILEANAN SIAR (WESTERN ISLES)
Music
Pàdruig Morrison is an acclaimed accordionist and composer from Grimsay in Uist in the
Outer Hebrides. A 2020 finalist in the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of
the Year, and a founding member of Beinn Lee, Pàdruig’s music is a powerful, innovative
voice connecting his Gaelic heritage with new compositional horizons.
Pàdruig released his debut solo album this January, comprising of entirely self-penned
music and original Gaelic songs. Buin is an exploration and deep reflection of connections
to place, history, culture, and the Gaelic language.
Equally comfortable in the world of classical composition — gaining a PhD in composition
in 2024, exploring the synthesis of Scottish traditional music and contemporary \classical’
composition — he has written music for the National Trust for Scotland, the St Magnus
International Festival, and for members of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. His debut solo
album Buin is deeply rooted in the traditional Gaelic music that feels most like home to
Pàdruig.
