Màiri Sìne Chaimbeul
S ann às a’ Phloc ann an Taobh Siar Rois a tha Màiri Sìne Chaimbeul. Tha i na h-òraidiche aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig anns an Eilean Sgitheanach far am bi i a’ teagasg chùrsaichean ann an Gàidhlig, na h-Ealainean Gàidhlig agus Cultar Traidiseanta. Tha i air a bhith a’ seinn a’ mhòr-chuid dhe a beatha ann an iomadach stoidhle, eadar seinn dhùthchasach na Gàidhlig ’s na h-Alba agus jazz. Ann an 1992 bhuannaich i Bonn Òr an t-Seann Nòis anns an Òban agus tha i air seinn ann an iomadach àite anns an UK agus Èirinn, cho math ri bhith na breitheamh aig Mòdan ann an Toronto agus Ameireagaidh.
A thuilleadh air an t-seinn aice, tha Màiri Sìne air grunnan leabhraichean chloinne a sgrìobhadh do dhiofar aoisean, am fear mu dheireadh do chlann eadar 14 ’s 17, agus tha i air sgriobtaichean a sgrìobhadh airson prògraman Gàidhlig air telebhisean agus rèidio. Bha i uaireigin anns a’ Chompanaidh Theatre, Fir-chlis, a bha a’ cur air dealbhan-cluiche air fead na Gàidhealtachd agus nan Eileanan.
