Renowned vocalist Hannah Rarity has left an indelible mark on the Scottish folk scene, securing her place as a standout artist. The recipient of the prestigious BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year award in 2018, Hannah has since collaborated with esteemed folk acts such as Blazin’ Fiddles, Rura, Niteworks, and Cherish the Ladies.
Her albums, 'Neath the Gloaming Star' (2018) and 'To Have You Near' (2022), both garnered critical acclaim, being shortlisted for Album of the Year at the BBC Alba Scots Trad Music Awards. In 2022, she was invited to work as co-musical director for the Opening Concert of Celtic Connections.
Performing a carefully chosen mix of traditional, contemporary and self-penned material, her ethereal voice is reminiscent of legends such as Eva Cassidy and Cara Dillon. Equally at home in a number of genres, she is a sought-after collaborator, session vocalist, tutor and MC (presenter of Celtic Connections famed Late Night Sessions & Brew and A Blether).
Hannah honed her craft at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, graduating in 2016 with a First Class BA (Hons) in Scottish Music. She has undertaken featured singer work as part of Brian O’Donovan & WGBH’s ‘A Celtic Christmas Sojourn’ in Boston (2018) and alongside the BBC SSO at Proms in the Park, as well as numerous UK television appearances (BBC Hogmanay 2015, 2017, 2020) and performs in her own right throughout Europe (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark), Australia and the UK.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
I have enjoyed taking part in events such as Scots Opera before we came to live in the area. Since then we have enjoyed both attending events and the splendid cafe In the foyer. It is a brilliant example of a local/regional community arts initiative and must not be allowed to falter.

Such lovely memories of coming to Birnam as a wee one, visiting the garden and the exhibition then exploring the woods that inspired Beatrix Potter.
