Rachel Hair Trio

The Arran Music Society begins its new series of on Saturday September 21st, when the marvellously talented Rachel Hair Trio will be performing in Brodick Hall at 7.30 pm.

Rachel Hair herself is a composer and Scottish harpist, and she is accompanied by two equally talented performers, singer-guitarist Jenn Butterworth and double bassist Euan Burton, both of them highly respected professionals. One of the leading bands on Scotland’s vibrant folk scene, the Trio presents a fabulous programme of music and songs. Their wide repertoire draws on traditional Scottish sources but also looks at contemporary work, and at music from many other countries of the world. They have a stunning degree of rhythm, drive, passion, verve and sheer joie de vivre, and NetRhythms called them ‘Utterly spellbinding’ and said a recent performance was ‘full of subtle delights and innumerable charms.’ Another reviewer described the Rachel Hair Trio as ‘a cup running over with talent.’

Tickets are available at the door or can be pre-booked at Inspirations in Brodick, or online from www.arranevents.com.
