In this episode of the Folk My Life podcast, host Andy interviews Rachel Hill, a talented folk musician from Cambridge. As well as including a live recording of the song “We Move”, they discuss Rachel’s musical journey, from her early influences and songwriting experiences to her use of technology in music and the art of live performance with a loop station. Rachel shares her thoughts on busking, the importance of connecting with audiences, and her upcoming tours, including a special mention of her plans for a new album. The conversation highlights the emotional depth of Rachel’s music and her unique approach to creating and performing.
Rachel selected some beautiful tracks for her personal playlist which I have included below.
