Rhona Macfarlane and Grace Morton
Rhona Macfarlane
Rhona Macfarlane's musical journey began in a creatively rich household, where she was surrounded by the sounds of Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and family members playing various instruments. Her early exposure to both folk music and classical training at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland has shaped a unique sound that marries storytelling with modern, introspective lyricism. Her work has been described as building an atmosphere of tranquillity and respite, drawing listeners into a space of reflection and serenity.
Macfarlane released her highly anticipated debut album, As The Chaos Unfolds, in January, 2025. The album, recorded in the Autumn of 2023 at Watercolour Studios in the serene Scottish Highlands, was co-produced by Macfarlane and Matt Ingram. As The Chaos Unfolds is an evocative collection of songs that captures the essence of a coming of age experience. Written during her mid-20sa time of profound personal changethe album explores the often-chaotic journey of navigating early adulthood.
The album made the Top 40 Folk Charts, received a 4 star review in the Scotsman as well as widespread radio play from the likes of BBC Radio 2, Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6, BBC Ulster and numerous BBC Scotland shows.

Grace Morton
Grace Morton is a Glasgow based singer-songwriter. Her playing and creating is rooted in her childhood growing up in Trotternish on the North West Coast of Skye where she was surrounded by music, Gaelic and the warmth of community; offering inspiration and a sense of roots that run deep. Her writing follows the ebbs and flows of the inner and outer world, river swims, moving from sea to city and finding home in people and places. Her songs also speak to the complex and unavoidable parts of growing and learning to know and un-know her own skin - turning these moments and parts of life into song has always felt like an antidote, and a chance to feel raw, honest and connected. Grace hopes her songs create a confluence that is a transportation to somewhere calm, beautifully rugged and familiar.
