Singer and songwriter Hannah Rarity combines sublime vocal timbre and uncanny interpretive empathy which have earned comparisons to Eva Cassidy and Cara Dillon.

A former winner of the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year contest, Rarity has toured internationally with US supergroup Cherish the Ladies as well as appearing with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Blazin’ Fiddles, Rura and Niteworks, alongside her solo work.

Widely recognised as a flourishing talent, Hannah was tipped by The Scotsman as ‘One to Watch’ and recently co-musically directed the Opening Concert of Celtic Connections 2022. In a crowded field, she ranks as one of Scotland’s finest young singers, performing a carefully chosen mix of traditional, contemporary and self-penned material.
This year she is celebrating the release of her eagerly anticipated second album ’To Have You Near’.
