Rachel Walker is a singer, songwriter, arranger, and educator based in the heart of Lochaber in Scotland’s beautiful West Highlands. At home with both Gaelic and English, she encountered the Gaelic tradition at a young age, after her family moved from Lincolnshire in England to the small village of Kinlochewe in Wester Ross. It was her school teacher there, Meg MacLean, who encouraged Rachel to take her first steps on stage, engaging in Gaeldom’s unique system of artist development she competes at local Mòds and performs at local cèilidhs. She fell in love with the songs, language, and culture of the Gael. She left the bright lights of Edinburgh, to study classical music at Napier University. After graduation, she was accepted into the first year of the BA Scottish Music course at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. she was tutored by the highly respected Gaelic singer and tradition bearer, Dr. Kenna Campbell OBE. though her heart lies in Collaboration, it has been at the heart of Rachel’s musical journey from the beginning as a member of Scottish-Irish quartet Cruinn and West Coast super-group Skipinnish. It would take all day to tell you about this amazing Celtic woman, so I encourage you to check her out at www.rachelwalker.co.uk.
