About Ainsley Hamill

Hailing from the West Coast of Scotland, Ainsley is a hugely diverse singer who specialises in songwriting for songs in Scottish Gaelic and English. She has a long list of nods to her name, including the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year Finalist and Gaelic Singer of the Year Finalist at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards. She represented Scotland at Eurovision in Gothenburg and has appeared at folk festivals the world over, including The Festival Interceltique de Lorient and Celtic Connections for the last 10 years.

Last year saw a new direction for Ainsley with the release of her debut feature album Not Just Ship Land. Inspired by the surroundings and unsung heroes of Govan and Glasgow, this new material explores original sounds and ideas as she creates personal material that encompasses big topics close to her heart, including feminism and equality, while unearthing forgotten stories and places that deserve a voice

Ainsley Hamill said: “I can’t wait to play the National Piping Centre this summer. Glasgow is where I live and where I studied, so I really do hope to see many well kent faces for the show and a good catch up afterwards. The National Piping Centre is also very close to my heart as that is where I delivered my first ever album launch with Barluath back in 2012!”

Scotland on Tour will take place over a period of 12 months between April 2022 and 2023, the remaining confirmed concerts taking place at The National Piping Centre being Mary Ann Kennedy & Finlay Wells on Sunday 10th July.

Finlay MacDonald, Director of Piping at The National Piping Centre, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming back Ainsley to The National Piping Centre after 10 years, and hearing this album played not far from the river and district that inspired it will be something very special.”

Scotland on Tour supports the creation of hundreds of concerts and performances at much-loved arts centres, town halls and community venues across Scotland. More than 120 artists are set to perform at more than 100 venues across the country as part of the initiative.

The project, which has been created and managed by Active Events, was made possible by £750,000 of Scottish Government backing and will focus on increasing the number of opportunities to showcase and enjoy live music, while bringing exciting acts to the doorstep of city, towns, villages and rural communities.

The year-long Scotland on Tour bill includes both emerging and established artists with genre-spanning acts appearing across the breadth and width of the country, with rock, pop, jazz, classical, folk, trad and acoustic genres all being showcased.

Tickets for these and a raft of other shows are on sale now at www.scotlandontour.com
