Heron Valley

A showcase of contemporary Scottish folk at Kings Place in London, pairing the singer Hannah Rarity with the band Heron Valley. The concert is held in Hall Two of the venue.

Hannah Rarity is a Scottish folk singer who won the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year award in 2018. Their albums Neath the Gloaming Star and To Have You Near were both nominated at the BBC Alba Scots Trad Music Awards. Their material combines traditional song with contemporary influences and original compositions, with a strong emphasis on storytelling.

Heron Valley is a Scottish folk band formed in 2014. Their live shows are driven by bagpipes, fiddle and a rhythm section. The group has performed at Celtic Connections and the Festival Interceltique de Lorient, and has toured extensively across North America, appearing at Celtic and folk festivals in the USA and Canada.

The evening brings the two acts together, with Hannah Rarity performing first and Heron Valley closing the bill. Kings Place is a concert and performance venue in London, and the night will appeal to anyone interested in contemporary Scottish folk.
