Description
'Fiere' is a unique collaboration between Gaelic singer Joy Dunlop and Scottish duo Twelfth Day, exploring the lives, loves and experiences of women in Scotland.
Using poems by female Scottish writers, they create a collection of new songs in English, Gaelic and Scots, showcasing the creative output of Scottish women through fresh and innovative compositions. Drawing from a mixture of Gaelic and English texts, Fiere (a Scots word for companion or friend) includes poetry from a wide range of writers including Jackie Kay, Liz Lochhead and Morag Montgomery. The album also features a traditional Gaelic waulking song and a poem by Sheila McLeod especially commissioned for the collaboration.
