At the age of seventeen, folk singer, Iona Fyfe has performed extensively across Scotland singing traditional Scots ballads with accompaniment of piano. Growing up in Huntly, surrounded by a wealth of musical and historical culture, Iona began performing Doric recitation and ballad singing at the age of five and since then has competed and performed at a range of festivals such as Traditional Music and Song Association Festivals in Aberdeen, Kirriemuir and Keith as well as The Perthshire Amber Festival and Celtic Connections. Her knowledge about song backgrounds provides an engaging, enthralling set list which delves into Scotland’s folklore, stories and history.
