CD: The Lucky Smile
"The Lucky Smile", supported by the Scottish Arts Council, is the eagerly awaited follow up to Rachel's highly acclaimed solo album "Hubcaps and Potholes".

CD: Hubcaps and Potholes
Featuring a mixture of Scottish music, Irish music and her own compositions, Rachel's debut solo album "Hubcaps and Potholes" was released in 2006 to great critical acclaim. The album (with 7 out of the 11 tracks featuring solo harp) shows the harps strength as a solo instrument, demonstrating its strong rhythmic and melodic capabilities, and proving that it really can stand its own.
Rachel is joined on 3 tracks by pianist Douglas Millar and on 1 track by traditional flute player, Peter Webster. Their imaginative, confident, but sensitive playing, balances with the harp beautifully and adds to a fine debut release.
"It would be difficult to find another Celtic music debut album of such consistent quality and beauty" - rambles.net
