St Teilo’s Merthyr Mawr presents Ainsley Hamil
Scottish singer and songwriter Ainsley Hamill brings a powerful voice, captivating stage presence and a fresh approach to traditional music. Blending Gaelic and Scots repertoire with original songwriting, her music is rooted in Scotland’s rich cultural heritage while embracing a distinctive contemporary folk sound.
Her latest album, Fable, draws inspiration from Scottish mythology, folklore and storytelling and was nominated for Album of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2025. Her previous album, Not Just Ship Land, was named Folk Album of the Month by The Guardian.
With performances at renowned festivals including Celtic Connections, Glastonbury and Denmark’s Tønder Festival, Ainsley has established herself as one of Scotland’s most compelling folk performers.
For this special two-piece performance, Ainsley’s remarkable vocals take centre stage, accompanied by a rich and versatile combination of guitar and harmonium. The line-up creates a surprisingly expansive sound, moving effortlessly between powerful, rhythmically charged Gaelic mouth music, beautifully arranged traditional songs and intimate, heartfelt storytelling. With warmth, humour and an infectious energy, Ainsley brings audiences on a musical journey through Scotland’s traditions and beyond.
Expect an evening of soaring vocals, vibrant musicianship, captivating stories and music that will stay with you long after the final note.
“One of the best of her generation.”
