The Cauld is the new single from Scottish folksinger Iona Fyfe. A slight departure from previous releases, the song which follows a folk-pop structure is written by Iona in the Scots Language; one of Scotlands three national languages with over 1.5 million speakers (2011 census).
The single features Michael Biggins (piano) Charlie Stewart (electric double bass), Jack McRobbie (guitar) and Graham Rorie (electric tenor, mandolin fiddle) of the folk band Gnoss, who also engineered, mixed and produced the single.
The Cauld has been played in session on both Music Planet on BBC Radio 3 and The Afternoon Show on BBC Radio Scotland and on BBC ALBA’s new series, Under Canvas. The single is accompanied by a live music video.
Iona is nominated in the upcoming third annual Scots Language Awards, which are taking place in person on 25th September at the Gardyne Theatre in Dundee and is open to the public. Iona is nominated for PROJECT OF THE YEAR (Iona Fyfe’s Spotify Campaign) and SPEAKER OF THE YEAR. Voting opens on 6th September at www.scotslanguageawards.com
