Original singer Rebecca Barclay creates a richly daring canvas of dynamic nuance, built with passion. With her tumultuous rumbling-tumbling bass notes to her soaring nightingale highs, this creative musician fills each musical offering with detailed vocal colours. Rebecca Barclay has been
an inspired singer since the age of twelve when she started actively
researching folk traditions. She has a particular interest in the
stories of older songs, bringing them to life with both traditional and
multi sourced original vocal ornamentation. Performing widely across Canada and the UK, Rebecca Barclay has played both as a soloist and as a compliment to an assortment of bands, ranging in style from folk choirs to ceilidh dance bands, celtic-jazz and celtic-rock bands plus her own unique special blend. Rebecca studied in
depth many musical traditions before starting her own band in 1991 and
has been part of many varied folk-rock bands and folk choirs with the
older songs being her particular interest. Rebecca was influenced by the
fabulous musicians in the city she grew up in, a city which celebrates
well over 50 cultures from across the world.
