Rachel Hair is one of one of Scotland's finest players of the Clarsach, the traditional Harp. Born and brought up in the Scottish Highland village of Ullapool, Rachel was first introduced to the harp at the age of 10, while attending Feis Rois, one of the many Gaelic Arts Tuition Festivals, in Scotland. 13 years on, she has now graduated with a first class honours degree in Music from the BA Applied Music at the University of Strathclyde (a course which has produced musicians including Julie Fowlis, Anna Massie, members of Croft no 5, Dochas and Brolum), where she was also awarded the Alexander Stone Prize for Outstanding Performance in her final solo honours recital. Of mixed heritage (her mother being from Ireland, her father, Scotland) Rachel has developed her own style of playing traditional music on the harp, highly influenced from her time studying alongside folk, jazz, classical, funk, rock and pop musicians, being brought up in the Scottish Highlands and her own Irish family roots. Rachel has been going from strength to strength as a professional musician and has steadily begun to gain recognition as a performer and a composer. Since turning professional, she has played several times throughout Europe, India, toured twice throughout the USA, as well as playing regularly throughout Scotland and the UK. She has performed on the famous BBC TV Hogmanay Live Show with top Musicians Eddie Reader, Phil Cunningham, Karen Matheson, Michael McGoldrick, John McCusker and Aly
