Bi Beò

Since the launch of Bi Beò onto the music scene the band has gone from strength to strength and played in The Pan Celtic Festival in Donegal, The Irish Festival in Akraness, Iceland , Live at the Edge in Barra, Inverness, Skye and the Isle of Harris and the Uists. These venues and festivals have enabled the band to develop and test their style and sound to new audiences and as a result developed their own unique brand of gaelic Rock.

Bi Beò are an original band from the Hebrides and playing their music is like no other sound from this area. The band are not afraid to try new things and experiment with gaelic vocals , the language and music in a bid to try and reach new audiences and to expand the appeal of the language through music. The music of Bi Beó provides all members of the band with new challenges, both musically and vocally; encouraging them at all times to strive and produce a pure and professional sound, while maintaining a certain rawness to the the music.

Bi Beò live

The songs are a reflection of island and Highland life from dancing to the beauty of love, nature , the elements , the harshness of isolation and abandonment. Many songs carry a messages of love and youthful exuberence and reflections of childhood memories of growing up in the Hebrides. The debut Album “Beo an Duil” which was launched in March 2008 features 10 brand new tracks which were written,composed and produced in Uist by James MacLetchie and Kevin De Las Casas and all the songs contain the traditional roots of gaelic music and culture. The album was recorded at the Media Hebrides Studios in North Uist.
