Ainsley Hamill with Sam Kelly & Toby Shaer – Friday 30th August 2024

Visit artists website

Mix Heather Small & Julie Fowlis and you’ve got singer songwriter Ainsley Hamill, one of the UK’s leading and most diverse singers. We are thrilled to welcome her to the Froize for the first time this August accompanied by the familiar faces of Toby Shaer and Sam Kelly. Ainsley has a long list of nods including the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year Finalist and Gaelic Singer of the Year Finalist at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards. She represented Scotland at Eurovision in Gothenburg and has appeared at folk festivals the world over, including The Festival Interceltique de Lorient and Celtic Connections for the last 10 years. In 2021 Ainsley released her debut feature album ‘Not Just Ship Land’. Produced by BBC composer Malcolm Lindsay, ‘Not Just Ship Land’, was inspired by the surroundings and unsung heroes of Govan and Glasgow.

Hailing from the West Coast of Scotland, Ainsley specialises in song writing and songs in Scottish Gaelic and English. Her love of Gaelic song was nurtured whilst studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Trad roots are close to her heart.
