Ellie Beaton will compete in the final which will be held on Sunday 31 January and broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC ALBA.
Ellie has been interested in traditional music from a young age, brought up with Traditional and Bothy Ballads alike.
She studied Classical Voice at Aberdeen City Music School and having performed alongside Malinky, has been described as ‘a singer to be reckoned with’ by Hands up for Trad.
Throughout 2020 Ellie qualified for the Bothy Ballad Champion of Champions competition at Elgin where she competed against the best Bothy Ballad singers in the country.
Now attending the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland studying Classical Vocal Studies, Ellie hopes to graduate then progress onto becoming a full time musician.
