of the harp" -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 Highland village of Ullapool, her eclectic mix of Scottish, Irish and original music,

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).
Since graduating with a first class honours music degree, Rachel has gained
recognition as a performer and composer leading her to play and tour many times throughout the UK, Europe, the USA and Asia
