The first review for Away From My Window! It’s actually in Italian, but I’ve gied it a wee google translate! A Small Part / Una Piccola Parte has written a smashing review.
 
“In an era in which we are invaded by “hit and run” music, there are still these boys and girls who have the courage to propose songs that exceed seven minutes (none of these falls below four). Away From My Window demonstrates great respect for traditional songs and the desire to preserve the immense artistic and historical heritage they represent. Iona Fyfe and her band have done a great job from every point of view, which brings us closer to the beauty of the traditional song that can not be lost.”

Happy New Year! Young Trad final, a knee operation, removal of wisdom (teeth!) sell-oot Edinburgh Fringe show, festivals, recording debut album, becoming Iona Fyfe FLCM and gigs!
I’m so excited for 2018 and the release of my debut album. Come back for a VIDEO RELEASE on 16th January! (My 20th birthday!). My album will be launched at my Celtic Connections show on 30th January at the Strathclyde Suite supporting The Railsplitters with a 7 piece band!

I couldn’t have done anything without the people who came to gigs, bought my music, supported my crowdfund or even just “shared” on Facebook! Thank you!

Back in Huntly and getting ready for Christmas! Last gig of the year is at Old Blackfriars Aberdeen – really chilled evening. I had a lovely gig last Friday at The Big Comfy Bookshop where the lovely Iona Lane and Lucy Kitchen played too. Watch out for a Big Comfy Sessions video!
 
 
 
 
“Whatever the motivation for Iona to leave all remnants of instrumentation back north of the border for this gig excursion, it was an absolute blessing to spend a coveted hour in the precious company of her sculptured voice; effervescent charm and an endearing commitment to share her passion.”

What a week it’s been! On Saturday, the trio featuring Luc Daniel McNally and Charlie Grey won the Molloy Award at The Trip to Birmingham TradFest then a quick nip up to Glasgow where I was honoured to speak at Dr Robbie Shepherd MBE’s ceremony and sing as part of Royal Conservatoire of Scotland St Andrews day pre-record concert. A busy week at university, filming with Graeme MacDonald, recording bits onto my album tomorrow with Charlie Grey tomorrow and then MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards on Saturday! And BREATHE!
