The Guardian Album of the Month – “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, it’s Scottishness ever-present.”
“One of the best of her generation.” RnR Magazine
Featured in ‘The List’ Hot 100 Cultural Scots 2024
Mix Heather Small & Julie Fowlis and you’ve got singer songwriter Ainsley Hamill - one of the UK’s most distinctive and versatile singers, known for her remarkable voice, storytelling, and emotive style. Ainsley has built a career celebrated for its authenticity, merging traditional Scottish folk with a modern touch.
In early 2025, Ainsley will release her much-anticipated third studio album, Fable, produced by Sam Kelly. Drawing inspiration from Scottish folklore and myth, Fable combines Gaelic, Scots, and original compositions with a rich tapestry of sounds.
Her previous album, Not Just Ship Land (2021), named The Guardian’s Album of the Month, showcased her “voice thick with velvet and mirk,”. The album celebrates the unsung heroes of Govan and Glasgow, capturing Ainsley’s move into a more introspective and thematic songwriting style, with a focus on feminism and equality.
Ainsley’s accolades include being a BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year Finalist, a Gaelic Singer of the Year nominee at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards, and representing Scotland at Eurovision in Gothenburg.
