Amanda MacLean is a Scottish writer and singer of folk music.

Sharps Folk Club

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

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:

MacLean contributed a recording of Mill O Tifty's Annie to Oli Steadman's 365 Days Of Folk project on January 19, 2024,[citation needed] marking the 346th anniversary of Agnes Tifty's death.[7] The recording followed standard text.
