Fiona Hunter
Fiona Hunter is one of the leading voices in Scottish traditional music. Now an award-winning singer in her own right, Fiona first came to the wider folk music audience’s attention when she joined the Scots song champions Malinky in 2005, having learned traditional songs first-hand from the Perthshire-based Stewart family. While continuing to work with Malinky, whose twentieth anniversary album, Handsel, featured guest appearances by singers including Len Graham, Barbara Dymock and Ellie Beaton, Fiona has formed a successful musical partnership with the outstanding Gaelic singer Kathleen MacInnes and appeared in the centenary celebrations of Scottish folk music’s patriarch, folklorist, poet and song collector Hamish Henderson. Fiona releases her second solo album in 2021, produced by her Malinky colleague Mike Vass and featuring songs learned directly from mentors including Ray Fisher, Alison McMorland and Sheila Stewart.
