Born in Glasgow and respected in Scotland as a fine interpreter of Scots song, her singing style displays her commitment to the tradition and a passion for keeping the old songs and ballads alive.
Her love of traditional Scots song is inspired by the great traveller singers like Jeannie Roberston and Lizzie Higgins. She owes much to tradition bearer Andy Hunter for the insight and wisdom he has shared with her. Fiona has been influenced too by many of the tradition’s revered singers like Gordeanna McCulloch and Jimmy Hutchison, with whom she has been fortunate to share the stage.
Fiona performs with a band of outstanding musicians, her strong, sensitive delivery of Scots song enhanced by fiddle, guitar and harp arrangements that bring new life to the old songs, whilst respecting the traditional style.
