ABOUT

Heather Cartwright is a Glasgow based folk guitarist and singer-songwriter from Cumbria. Her detailed fingerstyle and flat-picked guitar playing provides a vibrant backdrop to her self-penned songs and interpretations of traditional material. Her budding solo career has lead to her supporting Kris Drever in his Autumn tour (2024) and performing at the likes of the prestigious Ullapool guitar festival. Heather is also regularly seen performing with her duo partners; Scots Singer of the Year (2022), Beth Malcolm; Young Traditional Musician of the year finalist (2022), Sam Mabbett; and plays with Kathryn Tickell and the Darkening, Siobhan Miller and Swinging on Birches. These ensembles have taken her playing all over the UK, such as at Orkney and Shetland Folk Festival,  Edinburgh Tradfest, Warwick Folk Festival, and Celtic Connections, as well as internationally, including festivals such as Rudolstadt, Glatt & Verkehrt, and touring in Europe on tours such as Celtic Colours 2022 and Irish Spring 2026.
