“Nominated Folk Band of the Year” Scots Trad Awards

One of the leading bands on Scotland’s vibrant folk scene, the Rachel Hair Trio, presents a sparkling blend of melodic harp mastery, rootsy songs and sophisticated rhythmical drive. Fronted by acclaimed harpist-composer Rachel Hair and featuring the much-in-demand singer-guitarist Jenn Butterworth and top Scottish double bassist Euan Burton, the group has honed a repertoire drawn from traditional, contemporary and international sources to create performances that crackle with character, passion, verve and joie de vivre. Support is provided by “Claasagh” a group of young Manx harpers that Rachel tutors once a month on the island with the support of the Manx Heritage Foundation.

Tickets are £10 and will be available very soon from the usual Centenary Centre outlets
