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 Highland village of Ullapool, 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).Don't miss this one chance to see Rachel perform in the atmospheric Kildonan Church!
