Malin Lewis

Award-winning multi-instrumentalist Malin Lewis melds Scottish West Coast traditions with a newly invented, self-made bagpipe in a superb trio alongside Sally Simpson (fiddle) and Ali Hutton (guitar).

Malin released their debut album Halocline in 2024. A Halocline is a visible layer that forms between salt and fresh water and is home to a unique microbial ecosystem. Halocline is a metaphor for Malin’s trans identity and living in a space in between; a beautiful space between a binary.

Malin's unique timbre is born from the deep connection that comes from making and composing for their own instrument. Their one of a kind two-octave smallpipe creates a whole new world of sound, captivating audiences at every opportunity. Influenced by the likes of Martyn Bennett, Duncan Chisholm and Sharon Shannon, their music is as lively as it is thought-provoking and sensitive.
