A solo hour from Fyfe, just her and keyboard in an intimate setting. Featuring her pure, sweet voice, and more than competent piano accompaniment. A wide mix of songs on offer, both traditional and contemporary, and often eclectic. A Nick Cave song she'd translated into Scots. A similar treatment of Richard Thompson's Poor Ditching Boy, appropriate as it derived from a Scottish story. Some a cappella, some with choruses for the audience to join in with. And lots of murder!
Iona is very knowledgeable about the origins of her material, and communicates it in an amusing manner. Never a rip roaring gig, but nevertheless enjoyable and a pleasant way to pass the time. Even if 4pm is not her best time of the day!
