Grayshott Folk Club introduces:
The Ainsley Hamill Trio (featuring Sam Kelly and Toby Shaer)
The Guardian Album of the Month – "Not Just Ship Land"
“Her voice thick with velvet and mirk…hovering between the comforting warmth of The Breath and the whip smart forlornness of early Adele…Hamill has a big intriguing voice, its Scottishness ever present.”
“One of the best of her generation.” RnR Magazine
Mix Heather Small and Julie Fowlis and you have singer songwriter Ainsley Hamill. Ainsley is one of the UK’s most distinctive and versatile singers, known for her remarkable voice, storytelling, and emotive style. Hailing from the West Coast of Scotland, she has built a career celebrated for its authenticity, merging traditional Scottish folk with a modern touch.
In early 2025, Ainsley released her much anticipated third studio album, "Fable", produced by Sam Kelly. Drawing inspiration from Scottish folklore and myth, the album weaves Gaelic, Scots, and original compositions with rich instrumentation from Alistair Iain Paterson, Toby Shaer, Signy Jakobsdottir and Euan Burton. Recorded in Glasgow, "Fable" explores Scotland’s legends and landscapes, with each track carrying ancient stories into a contemporary setting.
