Celtic Connections proudly presents Hannah Rarity & Special Guests
Renowned vocalist Hannah Rarity has left an indelible mark on the Scottish folk scene, securing her place as a standout artist. Her albums, 'Neath the Gloaming Star' (2018) and 'To Have You Near' (2022), both garnered critical acclaim, being shortlisted for Album of the Year at the BBC Alba Scots Trad Music Awards. Performing a carefully chosen mix of traditional, contemporary and self-penned material, her ethereal voice is reminiscent of legends such as Eva Cassidy and Cara Dillon. Equally at home in a number of genres, she is a sought-after collaborator, session vocalist, tutor and MC (presenter of Celtic Connections famed Late Night Sessions & Brew and A Blether).
Hannah has undertaken featured singer work as part of Brian O’Donovan & WGBH’s ‘A Celtic Christmas Sojourn’ in Boston (2018) and alongside the BBC SSO at Proms in the Park, as well as numerous UK television appearances (BBC Hogmanay 2015, 2017, 2020) and performs in her own right throughout Europe (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark), Australia and the UK. The recipient of the prestigious BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year award in 2018, Hannah has since collaborated with esteemed folk acts such as Blazin’ Fiddles, Rura, Niteworks, and Cherish the Ladies, and in 2022 was invited to work as co-musical director for the Opening Concert of Celtic Connections.
For this special headline show, Hannah will be joined by renowned multi instrumentalists Anna Massie and Innes White.
“Not only has she a wonderful voice, she has gravitas. When she sings, we are compelled to listen.” — Irish Music Magazine
