Amanda MacLean is a Scottish writer and singer of folk music.
Sharps Folk Club[edit]
MacLean has been one of the organisers of Sharps Folk Club for several years.[1] She started during the COVID-19 pandemic when many of the sessions and sing arounds occurred virtually.[2] Under her leadership, the club embraced online broadcast and recorded all of the songs sung by all of the contributors.[3] The club continues to run weekly.[4]
Other projects[edit]
MacLean sings with Alison Frosdick and Wendy Lanchin as part of the Rumpled Muslin folk trio.[5]
She has also published three journal articles and a novel, each exploring the history of a traditional British folk song and its relation to real-world history:
