BETH MALCOLM is a songwriter, piano player and singer of stories from Perth. Beth’s music is folk-inspired, and she sings an eclectic mix of traditional Scots songs, alongside her own writing. Beth was named BBC MG ALBA Scots Singer of the Year in 2022 and 2024. Thanks to a sustained indoctrination from kin, Beth has been performing since she was old enough to stand on stage. After a brief hiatus from folk music in her teenage years, (read Girls Aloud), Beth fell in love with the old songs and music she had grown up with. She found a home, singing regular floor spots at the Glasgow Star Folk club. Beth has been singing, arranging, playing and writing ever since.
‘Beth Malcolm brings passionate commitment to whatever she sings…a glowing future beckons.’ Jim Gilchrist, The Scotsman
