Event information

The best stories elicit profound personal reactions and in the 15 years she has been
writing and performing, Hannah Scott has become a consummate storyteller. Her music
is shaped by human stories, with family, in all its chaos and glory, sitting at the heart of
her work. Her lyrics are powerful and poignant, and her voice feels strangely familiar,
though you can’t quite put your finger on why. Her writing may be deeply personal but
her music has a universal appeal that extends beyond the melodies you catch yourself
humming days after listening to her songs.
Born in Suffolk and raised by an artist mother and an eccentric entertainer father, with
music going back three generations to her songwriting great-grandmother, creativity
was always destined to be an integral part of Hannah’s life. At the age of four, her father
bought a second-hand piano for £70 from a friend in the pub and she didn’t look back,
falling in love with both playing and listening to classical music. Picking up a guitar in
her early teens as the influence of her peers and more contemporary music took hold,
Hannah taught herself some simple chords that would lay the foundation for her earliest
attempts at songwriting.
Career highlights include having her song No Gravity featured on the hit international
TV series Grey’s Anatomy, recording a live session on BBC Radio 2 with Dermot
O’Leary and opening for Madeleine Peyroux, performing to an audience of two
thousand. She has also shared the stage with folk luminaries such as Seth Lakeman,
Cara Dillon and Fairport Convention and has performed at festivals including
Cambridge, Sidmouth and Manchester Folk. Equally at home in small venues, she
thrives on the intimacy of performing in spaces where she can look audience members
in the eye
