“absolutely incredible” BBC Woman’s Hour

“a voice of milk and honey” Anais Mitchell

Chloe Matharu is a multi Award winning Scottish Indian singer songwriter and harpist from the West Coast of Scotland. Many of her songs draw on her time as a Navigational Officer in the Merchant Navy, inspired by the natural world as experienced at sea. On tour she performs solo with her harp in Scots and English. Her music offers "an intriguing insight into a new tradition of maritime folk music with thoughtful song writing embellished by her voice and superb harp playing" - The Herald.

In 2022 she received Celtic Music Radio’s Album of the Year for her debut album, Small Voyages, and was selected for the WOMEX awarded Global Music Match. 2023 saw her awarded a Danny at Celtic Connections; a Live Music Award at Greenock Telegraph Community Awards; and nominations for the Wales Folk Awards; Scots Singer of the Year in MG Alba Trad Awards; and was one of five finalists in the Canadian Goderich Emerging Artist Showcase.
