A “gifted exponent of the harp” (Net Rhythms), Rachel Hair is fast making a name for herself as one of the most exciting and dynamic performers of her generation.

Hailing from the Scottish Highlands, her eclectic mix of Scottish, Irish and Original music, highly influenced from both her time studying alongside jazz, folk, rock and classical musicians and her mixed Scots and Irish parentage, has led her to be described as “one of the most innovative young musicians to have emerged over the last few years” (The Irish Music Review)

A first class honours Music graduate, Rachel has performed many times throughout the UK, Europe and America, as well as appearing on BBC Radio and TV, including the famous “Hogmanay Live” show, where she performed with Karen Matheson, Michael McGoldrick and John McCusker.

Her debut album “Hubcaps and Potholes”, recently released to great critical acclaim showcases the harp as a solo instrument, with a mixture of solo tracks and collaborations with pianist Douglas Millar.

“It would be difficult to find another Celtic music debut album of such quality and beauty” rambles.net
