Description
This is the debut solo release from one of Scotland's foremost traditional singers, Fiona Hunter and features a cast of some of the UK's top instrumentalists.
After nearly a decade as vocalist and cellist of award-winning folk band Malinky, Fiona Hunter is stepping out in front of her own band of accomplished players and gaining a deserved reputations as one of the finest young singers on the Scottish folk music scene today, with her fresh interpretations of songs of her native Glasgow and of the Scottish Travellers.
In pursuit of the latter she has worked with members of the Fetterangus Stewart family, the last tradition-bearers of this celebrated folk song dynasty. Her academic qualifications in the field are of the first order - a BA in Scottish Music from the Royal Scottish Academy and studies at the Smithsonian Institute in the USA - but it's her passion and natural ability to inhabit her material that sets her apart.
This eponymous release is Fiona's highly anticipated debut solo album, featuring songs from her native Glasgow and beyond. The recording will also feature a cast of some of the finest instrumentalists currently gracing the traditional music scene, including Mike Vass, Matheu Watson, Euan Burton and Gillian Frame. -
