Pauline Vallance is a singer-songwriter and clarsach (Celtic harp) player with a diverse repertoire and extensive experience performing in community, care, festival, and cultural settings. Combining original songwriting, traditional music, and carefully selected covers, Pauline creates performances that are engaging, adaptable, and shaped around the audience and occasion.
Her repertoire varies depending on the setting. For folk clubs and festivals, Pauline performs a mixture of her own songs, traditional material, and her unique comedy feature One Song to the Tune of Another, creating a distinctive blend of storytelling, humour, and musicianship. For cafés and restaurants, she incorporates unusual acoustic rock covers alongside her own material, while her care home performances focus on familiar Scottish favourites, songs from films, and audience requests that encourage participation and reminiscence.
Pauline has a strong interest in using music as a tool for connection and community engagement. She recently contributed to the Clachan Project in Lochwinnoch, gathering local stories and transforming them into original songs celebrating community identity and shared experiences. In 2022, she was one of the Musicians in Residence for the Dandelion Project in Greenock, working with schools and community groups to develop new songs through creative collaboration.
With experience across a wide range of audiences, Pauline brings warmth, creativity, and sensitivity to every performance. Based in Scotland, she is available for suitable opportunities across community, care, and cultural settings, with availability varying throughout the year.
