Music At The Green: Hannah Rarity with Anna Massie

“With vocals so pure and flawless yet soothingly emotional, it’s hard not to fall a little in love with the voice of Hannah Rarity.” (Folk Radio UK)

Award-winning singer, Hannah Rarity, has made a lasting impression since being warmly embraced by the folk world, winning BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year (2018) and recording and touring with top acts Blazin’ Fiddles, Rura, Niteworks and Cherish the Ladies. Both of her albums ‘Neath the Gloaming Star’ (2018) & ‘To Have You Near’ (2022) have been shortlisted for Album of the Year at the BBC Alba Scots Trad Music Awards and in 2022, she was invited to work as co-musical director for the Opening Concert of Celtic Connections.

Equally at home as accompanist or melody player, Anna Massie is one of Scotland’s foremost guitarists. A skilled multi-instrumentalist, she also excels on the fiddle, mandolin and tenor banjo. Renowned for her work with Blazin’ Fiddles, Mairearad Green and RANT, her reputation as a producer, presenter and musical director grows with each passing project. 2022's Producer of the Year and three-time nominee for Best Instrumentalist at the Scots Trad Music Awards, she is a highly talented musician. She is the presenter of BBC Radio Scotland's flagship traditional music programme Travelling Folk, and her Black Isle Correspondent vlog saw her win the Trad Music in the Media award at the 2020 Scots Trad Music Awards.
