Catherine-Ann was born on 21 November 1959 in the Island of Barra, Scotland. There she grew up with Scottish Gaelic as her first language. Electricity did not reach the island until she was six. At the age of five she started singing at candle-lit ceilidhs in the little village of Eoligarry. During the summer she sang for tourists. At the age of seventeen she joined "Fir Chlis" (Northern Lights). It was the first Scottish Gaelic repertory theatre company and did work for radio and television. Following budget cuts the company ended after three years. After moving to the island of Mull, she received many phone calls from John McGrath of the 7:84 theatre company. It took much persuasion to get her to join them and play English-speaking roles. She travelled with them to Leningrad, Tbilisi, Toronto, Cape Breton and Berlin. Ian Green from Greentrax Records heard her at a festival in Dingwall and offered a recording contract. Like her subsequent albums, all of the songs on "Cànan Nan Gaidheal" (The Language of the Gael) (1987) are in Gaelic, and most are traditional. One of the songs is by the Gaelic-speaking folk-rock group Runrig. Her voice is a powerful alto with exceptionally clear diction. The backing musicians include Tony Cuffe and William Jackson, both from the group Ossian. Her second album contains a bewildering range of pop and New Age influences including drum machine, harp and bass guitar. It was probably the first time that "waulking songs" (work songs for women finishing tweed cloth) were treated this way. The Mrs Ackyroyd Band is a loose association of singers who record perform comic parodies of folk music. In 1987 they undertook their only non-comic project, a song-cycle called "The Stones of Callanish". MacPhee sang two of the songs on it. The Land League was an organisation devoted to resisting the Highland Clearances in the mid to late nineteenth century. Many songs were written by Màiri Mhór (Mary MacPherson) from Skye in support of their cause. Fifty years before Woody Guthrie she wrote protest songs and set them to traditional tunes. In 1993 MacPhee played the lead in a biographical BBC TV film about Màiri Mhór. In the following year the soundtrack album was released. Some of these Gaelic songs are about the landscape of the highlands and represent a farewell to a way of life. In 1997 she recorded a live album at the 50th anniversary of the Edinburgh Festival. In 2001 MacPhee moved to Ottawa. She teaches Gaelic singing and often travels to Toronto, Seattle, North Carolina and Cape Breton. Like many other Scottish folk singers she likes country and western music but does not sing it in public. Her most recent album "Sùil Air Ais" (Looking Back) was recorded during the electricity black-out that affected USA and Canada. The sudden reduction of studio time meant that the vocals were recorded in Canada, and the instrumental accompaniments added afterwards in Scotland. Read more on Last.fm.
