Rooted in the singing traditions of Aberdeenshire, Iona Fyfe has quickly become one of Scotland’s most celebrated young folk singers. Having spent her early years learning from local singers of bothy ballads (songs traditionally sung by farm labourers in the northeast region of Scotland), Iona became the youngest ever winner of Scots Singer of the Year at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards in 2018, and has become a fierce advocate for the Scots Language and a fine exponent of the Doric dialect. Despite her young age, she has already toured extensively in the UK and beyond, and earlier this year reached the final of the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year for the second time.
