Driven by awe and wonder of the natural world, Glasgow-based folk singer Iona Lane delivers poetic songs with subtle musical touches and contemplative melodies that link unheard stories with the world we find ourselves in today.

Having found herself fascinated by folklore and folk stories from across the UK, her debut album Hallival has been inspired by natural landscapes, scientific discoveries, equality, human relationships and the supernatural, all tied together by a strong sense of place and a love for being in wild places.

Support on the night is from local singer/songwriter Shirley Barr. Barr will sing songs from her recently released EP, Begin Began Begun , alongside others she has written over the past three years.

 

 


    Iona feels like a kindred spirit with her gorgeous evocations of landscape and geeky scientific references.

    ...her sweet voice recalls Emilíana Torrini, ...her lyrics and musical arrangements crackle with wide-eyed curiosity.
