Rachel and Holli
Rachel and Holli are an emerging duo on the Scottish traditional music scene. They first met in 2016 while participating in the Argyll Ceilidh Trail and have since honed their individual crafts as musicians, performers and teachers. Accordionist and pianist Rachel Campbell, originally from Oban, graduated in 2022 from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with a BMus in Traditional Music. Fiddler Holli Scott, from Dunoon, has gained extensive experience performing with various groups across the Scottish ceilidh and session scene.
Now based in Glasgow, the duo draw on their shared roots in Argyll to create a fresh and expressive sound blending accordion, piano, fiddle and vocals. Their music weaves original compositions with traditional melodies through immersive arrangements that highlight texture, interplay and musical sensitivity.
Following the release of their debut single In the Stream in July 2025 and winning a ‘Danny’ at the Danny Kyle Open Stage at Celtic Connections 2026, Rachel and Holli are building strong momentum within the Scottish traditional scene. They are passionate about bringing music to community venues and value performances that feel intimate, welcoming and connected. They joined the LMNS team in March 2026 and are looking forward to working with LMNS to continue engaging audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
