A Gaelic vocal group of vocal sisters Eilidh, Gillian and Fiona from the village of Gress on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, is the result of many years of involvment in the world of music and song - Gaelic music and song in particular. Although they have been singing together since childhood, they did not get together to formally perform as a trio until 1996 when they were invited to take part in a Gaelic music television programme. Soon after, they recorded their first album for Macmeanmna entitled Camhanach.
