Britain's What's On Event Guide
Grayshott Folk Club introduces: RACHAEL McSHANE & The Cartographers
Rachael McShane is a renowned folk singer, cellist, fiddle and viola player from the North East of England. She was an original member of the award-winning folk big band BELLOWHEAD, touring with them extensively and making a number of television appearances.
The band recorded five studio albums and, together, won a staggering total of EIGHT BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
Parting ways in 2016, the band re-united in 2022 for a series of ecstatically-received performances that reminded audiences of their unique alchemy, energy and talent. Immediately after her visit to Grayshott, Rachael will be back out on the road as Bellowhead embark on a sell-out, nationwide tour to celebrate 20 years since their formation.
Away from her Bellowhead fame, Rachael is a much sought-after performer and recording artist. Her debut solo album No Man’s Fool arrived in 2009 via Navigator Records, establishing impressive credentials that eventually led her to signing with the prestigious Topic Records, the oldest independent record label in the world.
Rachael is also the leader of The Cartographers, a band that features the exceptional talents of guitarist Ian Stephenson (Kan, Baltic Crossing), and melodeon player Julian Sutton (Kathryn Tickell, Sting). Their music is a powerful blend of traditional folk and contemporary sounds, with Rachael's stunning voice and instrumental skills leading the line.
They are a talented and joyful band to watch and listen to.
