29 ISOBEL MCARTHUR YOUNG GUN
27 CUCINA POVERA FIELD ARTIST
Part of the Blood of the Young collective, and writer of Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of), their late season hit, McArthur has created a series of memorable performances, with her gender- swapped Mr Darcy eclipsing even the most famous versions of stage and screen. (GKV) Povera (aka Glasgow-based, Finnish-born musician and artist Maria Rossi) delivered one of the year’s most beguiling debuts with Hilja, creating experimental pop from vocal loops, synths and i eld recordings. Look out for her second album in 2019. (SS)
28 JANEY GODLEY COMEDY QUEEN
26 HANNAH RARITY TRAD STAR
Aside from maintaining her campaign against all things Trump-related, Godley was in rel ective mood this year with two shows. Her Glasgow Comedy Festival affair Revelations of Godley, and her Edinburgh Fringe show Godley’s Cream, looked back on her 20 years in comedy alongside plenty new material. (BD) After winning BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2018, Rarity’s sumptuous vocals have been heard far and wide on stage and screen, with the release of her debut album, Neath the Gloaming Star, the icing on this year’s cake.
