  • Description

    From Manx jigs and jazzy marches, to haunting Gaelic ballads and sassy Strathspeys - Highland harper, Rachel Hair, takes Scotland's oldest instrument to quirky new corners on her tantalizing triptych's new album. Entitled Tri (meaning "three" in Gaelic), Hair's eardrum-baiting Trio have self-produced 11 tracks of raw, minimalist multiplicity. Complimented by Jenn Butterworth's bright-as-buttons acoustic guitar and vocals, and Cameron Maxwell's muscle-soothing double-bass, Hair's non-conventional Harp style breathes new life into the ancient instrument. Coal-miners, Royal Dukes, and Border Terriers are some of the characters we meet along the way. There's a whistle-stop tour towards Norway, and while we discover Northern Ireland's answer to Native Indian smoke signals, a celebration of a young harper's life - cut cruelly short - demonstrates harp is where the heart is.
