Eilidh Campbell

Eilidh Campbell is a singer based in Northumberland, whose work focuses on community outreach and accessibility. She is currently working with The Wilson’s Tales Project and the Radio Rooms on a project exploring the life and work of John Mackay Wilson, the writer of “Wilson’s tales of the Borders”, along with the socio-cultural impact of the writer’s work through music. In 2019, she volunteered at the 15th BFMAF and used her experience at the festival in the research phase of her extended project qualification, a piece of writing exploring whether myths and legends should be used as an artistic stimulus and the cultural importance of folkloric traditions. Eilidh also contributed to the multimedia exhibition “The hurt goes on”, shown at the 2018 festival in partnership with Berwick youth project.
