Archive material and source history
Malinky formed in Scotland in the late 1990s with Fiona Kennedy on vocals, fiddle, and guitar, John Martin on vocals, guitar, and mandolin, Jamie MacDougall on Highland bagpipes, whistles, and keyboards, and Donald Hay on bass. Their music draws from traditional Celtic folk, but they've never been a purely revivalist act.
They released albums like 'Last Night's Fun' in 2001, 'Seven' in 2004, and 'Lark' in 2017. Songs such as 'Alison Cross,' 'Billy Taylor,' and 'Follow The Heron' show their range from traditional ballads to more contemporary material. Their arrangements often feature Kennedy's fiddle and MacDougall's bagpipes alongside Martin's guitar work.
Some of their lyrics address social issues, which has drawn both attention and occasional criticism. 'Alison Cross' deals with domestic violence. They've kept recording and performing without much fanfare about their place in any scene.
