Singer, harpist and composer Rachel Newton draws on poems and ballads that are hundreds of years old, working them into her contemporary style to create a rich sound that is ambitious, original and unique. Rachel has been awarded Musician of the Year at both the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and the Scots Trad Music Awards.
To The Awe, Rachel’s latest album, places women at the centre of the narrative, at various stages of life and often marking a coming of age and an acquisition of power. The record is a tribute to the women who have inspired Rachel Newton and is influenced by her recent work around the representation of women in the music industry.
