“Claire does more than simply sing a song, she takes you to the story and sits you comfortably right beside the singer” – FOLK RADIO UK

Dumfries born folksinger, songwriter and ukulele player Claire Hastings has made a name for herself on the folk scene since winning BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year in 2015.

Since then she has toured extensively, with standout performances including BBC’s Friday Night is Music Night alongside Lulu and Jamie Cullum, as a soloist with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Randers Chamber Orchestra and Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, as well as numerous folk festival appearances at home and abroad including Celtic Connections, Festival Interceltique Lorient and Canterbury Folk Festival, NZ.

Claire’s three studio albums weave a mix of traditional, contemporary and original material, each with compelling storytelling through song.
