Assynt and Hannah Rarity with Innes White

This special double bill features two standout acts from Scotland’s vibrant folk scene.

Award-winning trio Assynt bring their bold blend of Highland tradition and contemporary flair. With BBC Radio Scotland Young Musician of the Year finalists Graham Mackenzie (fiddle) and David Shedden (pipes/whistles), and BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award winner Pablo Lafuente (guitar), their music is “refreshingly contemporary” (Folk Radio UK) while rooted in Scotland’s rich traditions.

In a separate set, Hannah Rarity showcases her exceptional voice and dynamic stage presence. A leading figure in the Scottish folk scene, the former BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year has collaborated with Blazin’ Fiddles, Rura, and Cherish the Ladies, and is a familiar face at Celtic Connections, where she hosts the popular Late Night Sessions and Brew & A Blether. She’ll be joined by one of Scotland’s most sought-after accompanists, Innes White.
