“A psychedelic Scottish Enya.” The Guardian
Returning to Melbourne Celtic Festival by popular demand, Chloe Matharu is a multi-award-winning Scottish Indian singer songwriter and harpist on 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. She has performed at impressive venues such as Celtic Connections, Cambridge Folk Festival, Glad Cafe Glasgow, Green Note in London, Fringe by the Sea, Edinburgh Fringe and Hartlepool Folk Festival. She received Celtic Music Radio’s Album of the Year for her debut album, Small Voyages and has recently released her second album, Sailors and Rolling Stone. Chloe lives on her family run Alpaca Trekking and Goat Yoga centre.
Chloe is also appearing alongside Austral and Bhan Tre in MELBOURNE CELTIC FESTIVAL ON TOUR March 2025 to theatres and venues in Victoria, NSW and Queensland including Twin Towns Showroom Coolangatta on March 15.
