Music in the Museum: Iona Fyfe

As part of our programme for Alien Worlds at the Wardlaw Museum our Music in the Museum Summer concerts feature music which respond to the theme of ‘space'. Programmed in partnership with Live Music Now Scotland.

Aberdeenshire singer, Iona Fyfe, has become one of Scotland's finest young folk singers, rooted deeply in the singing traditions of the North East of Scotland. The youngest ever winner of Scots Singer of the Year at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2018, Iona has been described as “one of the best Scotland has to offer”. (Global-Music.de).

Iona is a fierce advocate for the official recognition of the Scots Language and is a fine exponent of the Doric dialect, winning the title of Performer of the Year at the Scots Language Awards in 2020 and led a successful campaign to pressure Spotify to recognise Scots and add it to its list of languages. She was a finalist in the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2021 award and has performed with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra as part of the World Premiere of Disney Pixar's Brave in Concert at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

Music in the Museum is free to attend, and no booking is required.
