Details:
âOne of Scotlandâs brightest young harpistsâ (The Scotsman) Rachel Hairâs âThe Lucky Smileâ is an eagerly awaited follow up from the highly acclaimed solo album âHubcaps and Potholesâ.
Produced by respected musician Angus Lyon (18months later, Box Club) the album features Rachelâs newly formed trio of harp with acoustic guitarist Paul Tracey and double bassist Andy Sharkey.
With an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary material, tinged with influences ranging from jazz and funk, to classical and bluegrass and her Scots-Irish heritage, âThe Lucky Smileâ confirms Hairâs ability as a prolific composer, as well as an incredibly talented harpist.
Featuring guest appearances from award winning Gaelic singer Joy Dunlop, drummer Scott Mackay (Roddy Hart), cajon player Paul Jennings (Old Blind Dogs, The Bar Room Mountaineers) and jazz violinist Graham McGeoch (The Fortunate Sons) the album showcases the harp as a lead band instrument allowing its vibrance and vitality to shine through with sparkle and poise.
