About Sìne

Blessed with parents devoted to the cultural legacy of their forebearers, Sìne was immersed in the still waters of her Irish and Scots Gaelic heritage. From these beginnings, she developed a passion to pass on the wisdom of her ancestors in story and song, which she has been doing for over 35 years.

Sìne has always been captivated by songs of loss and longing; songs which express feelings too great for words, and which are powerfully expressed through the medium of the lyrical Gaelic language.

In recent years she has been called to carry her songs to people longing for peace of heart, which she does virtually or in person. She is particularly drawn to hospice, hospital and graveside.

“Singing with Sìne has been a balm for my soul, offering me a way to move grief and to deepen my connection with my Gaelic ancestors and with the Land. I’m so grateful for Sìne and the depth that she offers.”

– Jaclyn MacIntyre
