Biography
Chloe Matharu is a 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 English, Scots and Welsh. 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.
She recently received a Danny Award at Celtic Connections and her album was awarded Celtic Music Radio’s Album of the Year followed by features in The Times, The Herald, The Sunday Post and Celtic Life International.
