Miwa Nagato-Apthorp

Described as a “visceral new voice in Scottish folk”, Hawick based Singer/Songwriter Miwa Nagato-Apthorp draws on folk traditions to explore multicultural understandings of history, climate, gender and home, giving voice to lesser told stories through song.

In 2025 she released her debut EP, performed at John McCusker’s Southside of the Tracks, supported Eddi Reader and was awarded Best Acoustic in the Scottish Alternative Music Awards.
