About Me


Scotland's Heather Innes and Ireland's Jacynth Hamill sing together as 'Caim a capella Celtic Christian Duo'. The duo was born in 1998 when Heather invited Jacynth to sing with her and to research and arrange most of the music for their first album, 'Caim, Sung Prayers in the Celtic Tradition', based on the published prayers in the Celtic Tradition of Rev David Adam, former vicar of Lindisfarne. Caim concerts feature a mix of sung prayers with traditional Scottish and Irish songs, stories and dance.Heather tours extensively with duo Heather Innes and Ciaran Dorris, as a solo singer, and with 'Caim'. The British Isles, Ireland, mainland Europe, Australia, and North America (both Canada and the USA) feature regularly in her (and Caim's) performing itinerary. She has several excellent solo recordings to her credit as well as recordings with her other bands.Jacynth currently lives in Belfast. She has always been involved in singing, featuring as soloist on several Corrymeela Singers' recordings and on their British, Irish and European tours. In addition to her folk-music interest, Jacynth is an active member of Ceol le C..ile, a cross-community choir.All of the Caim CDs have instrumental backing but 'live' Jacynth and Heather sing a capella and in harmony for a pure Celtic sound.With music ranging from the lively to the meditative, Caim aims to bring the depth and simplicity of Celtic Christian music to a wide audience.
