Claire Vine is a folk singer and songwriter based in Machynlleth, Cymru/Wales. Her solo project fearlessly explores urgent themes of land rights, oppression, climate change and inequality, in timeless songs that sound like they've always existed. Using subtle electronics to layer her voice into a haunting choir, she creates a space for her listeners to collectively feel the grief expressed in her music, offering a moment of shared catharsis. She is also a skilled song-interpreter, delivering classics from the traditional/folk revival canon with a new and profound humanity.

"Such a rich and resonant voice... I'm very very grateful to make claire vine's accquaintance." - BBC Introducing

Claire Vine released her debut solo album "We Carve Our Path" on 13 March 2026 on Bristol-based community label Cuculi Records, who also released her debut EP Tunnel in 2020. With a thread of unequivocal political urgency running throughout, this evocative collection features five original songs and five highly inventive interpretations of songs drawn from the traditional canon and the repertoire of folk legends Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl.
