The only girl in a family of five boys, Lucy MacNeil can be described as the heart of The Barra MacNeils. Her crystalline vocals are immediately identifiable with the group’s quintessential sound.
For Lucy, music has always had a heartbeat and she recalls it as the centre of her childhood home where family, neighbours and visiting musicians were often known to gather — the perfect rhythm of everyone’s feet tapping with the music would lull her to sleep on many nights.

The Jillick at the Inn will play host to 8 market vendors, who handcraft and or grow their own products. We like to encourage buying local, as well as young and old entrepreneurship alike. Details to follow.
