Bio
Marieke McBean is a singer, bodhran player and guitarist based in Perthshire, Scotland. She is originally from The Netherlands, but moved to Scotland due to her love of traditional music. Marieke is a member of the contemporary folk band Rallion and also performs with a ceilidh band and local musicians in the Loch Tay area. As said in reviews: "Marieke McBean sings with the fervour and abandon of a wild banshee." - Mike Wilson's Music Blog "Dutch-born singer Marieke McBean (is) proving quite splendid at sounding genuinely local. (...) Marieke's voice paints a torrent of vivid imagery in the head of the listener as she sings the words of Robert Burns on "Lassie Lie Near Me", without as much as a gust of wind for accompaniment. Fine words complemented by a fine voice." - Peter McGee, Bluesbunny Independent Music Reviews About Rallion live at the Mill Race Festival, Canada: "Any head banging, heavy metal musician would envy the driving, chest thumping beat this group can pound out of their traditional instruments. Clapping and foot stomping was irresistible every time they played. They rock!" - Jay Moore, Cambridge Now (Canada) In her day-to-day life Marieke works as a photographer and journalist.

Hi Marieke.
Thanks for being a friend and thanks for your nice comments. Rallion's version of King of Prussia was fab. My dad wrote it and he would've been well chuffed.
Best wishes.x
