Fiona Hunter & Tom Gibbs - CANCELLED
Catch award-winning singer Fiona Hunter, accompanied by one of Scotland's finest jazz pianists Tom Gibbs, at St Peters Linlithgow on Friday 29th November!
About Fiona Hunter & Tom Gibbs - CANCELLED
Now an award-winning singer in her own right, Fiona Hunter first came to the wider folk music audience’s attention when she joined Scots song champions Malinky in 2005, having learned traditional songs first-hand from the Perthshire-based Stewart family and through formal studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC.
With Malinky, Fiona has toured internationally and features on four of their albums. In 2014 she released her eponymous first solo album, featuring her interpretations of songs from both the lowlands and Highlands of Scotland. The album and subsequent concerts earned glowing reviews and in 2015 Fiona won the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards’ Scots Singer of the Year title.
Further acclaim came when Fiona sang with the large-scale Grit Orchestra, formed to celebrate the music of maverick techno-folk musician Martyn Bennett, at Celtic Connections on the tenth anniversary of Bennett’s death in 2015. The orchestra, with Fiona ably taking on the daunting role of singing 'Move', as sung by Sheila Stewart on Bennett’s Grit album, has gone on to appear at WOMAD and at Edinburgh International Festival.
Fiona released her second solo album in 2022, produced by her Malinky colleague Mike Vass and featuring songs learned directly from mentors including Ray Fisher, Alison McMorland and Sheila Stewart.
For this concert, Fiona is accompanied by Tom Gibbs - one of Scotland's finest jazz pianists, currently leading his own trio and featuring with saxophonist Brian Molley's quartet.
"Hunter's strengths lie in a vocal tone that she varies to suit the mood of the song while always sounding like the real deal and her ability to project a genuine empathy with the characters she's singing about" - The Herald
