'When the sun and moon meets in yon glen... it's I'll return again.'
MAIK are a brand new folk duo from either side of the Scotland/England border. Two experienced folk singers in their own right, Jamie Cook and Kirsty Law have joined forces to bring some of their most beloved songs together. Through their arrangements they tell stories both ancient and contemporary, in harmonies that are at times stark and dissonant, and at times warm and lush - in a mix of Scots language, Cumbrian dialect and English.
"There’s something eerie and uncanny about the music of MAIK, with the harmonies of Kirsty Law and Jamie Cook moving from sublime to unsettling and back. This is folk music which is steeped in the tradition, and understands exactly what that means."
The new self-titled EP out 2025!
Maik's first EP will be released in 2025. Five tracks of traditional and original song, launching the duo's first tour (dates tba).
