Ainsley Hamill: Fable with Rachel Newton: Sealladh

Join acclaimed Scottish singer Ainsley Hamill for the official launch of Fable, a deeply immersive album steeped in Scottish folklore. Produced by Sam Kelly, Fable blends traditional and original songs in Gaelic, Scots, and English, weaving vivid tales from Scotland’s legends and landscapes.

Featuring musicians Alistair Iain Paterson, Toby Shaer, Signy Jakobsdottir, Sam Kelly, and more, the album brings Scotland’s ancient stories to life through haunting melodies and evocative lyrics. A finalist for Gaelic Singer of the Year, Ainsley’s voice “thick with velvet and mirk” (The Guardian) promises a captivating performance.

Singer, harpist and composer Rachel Newton’s solo project Sealladh was originally commissioned by the National Galleries of Scotland to celebrate 80 years of live music at the galleries. Each piece is inspired by an artwork from the Scottish Collection. This magical and evocative performance includes projections of each piece of art and found sound recordings from the artwork locations.

Rachel is accompanied by Sally Simpson on viola and Alice Allen on cello.
