Rebecca
Whether subtly approaching the traditional music of her native Scottish West coast or exploring contemporary compositions of her own, Rebecca Hill approaches the lever harp with consideration and elegance. Rebecca’s musical interest was sparked at the local Féis and she now looks back as a First-Class Honours graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s prestigious Traditional Music programme.
After reaching the final of the Princess Margaret of the Isles senior clársach competition in 2019, Rebecca was driven to release some of her own music in the form of her EP 'The Airing'. She joined forces with fiddler Charlie Stewart and musician/recording engineer Graham Rorie to create a recording that encapsulates her mix of influences in four unique tracks. The EP was launched at Glasgow's Celtic Connections in January 2020. Rebecca was voted 'Up and Coming Artist of the Year' at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards that same year.
2023 has seen Rebecca collaborate with the aforementioned Charlie Stewart, recently releasing their debut album, Thawcrook.
"The sound the listener hears is one of style, deep concentrated thought, of light invading the darkness..."
