About
Also known as: Margot Limburg
Margot Merah has spent more than twenty years singing and playing Irish and Scottish folk songs, and the Celtic habit of telling a story through a song runs straight through her own writing too. Her songs look at life from close up, small everyday things and the bigger picture behind them, delivered in a warm, comforting voice. She plays guitar, bodhran, harmonica and tenor ukulele. Her sound ranges from melancholy ballads and romance to a bit of jazzy swing and a touch of country, sometimes feeling like the Irish countryside and sometimes like the New York folk scene of the 1960s. She often works with Scottish multi instrumentalist Alan McLachlan, who plays banjo, guitar and mandolin. Together they made the album Take Heart, recorded while she was recovering from a serious illness, a record about courage and trust in a good outcome, for herself and for others.
