Runs to 03 October 2014

Multi award winning singer Emily Smith is a leading figure of the Scottish folk scene. 2014 sees Emily launch her new album with a nationwide tour.

On this, her fifth studio album, Emily continues to draw on her talent as one of the finest interpreters of traditional song in the UK.  New settings of time worn texts weave beautifully alongside contemporary covers blurring the borders of old and new to create what could be her finest album yet.  Joining Emily are Jamie McClennan (guitar, fiddle & vocals) and Matheu Watson (guitar and whistle).

Emily started out as an instrumentalist on piano and accordion but it’s her outstanding voice which has gained her a stream of awards throughout her career including ‘BBC Radio Scotland’s Young Traditional Musician of the Year’ in 2002, USA Songwriting Competition Winner in 2005, ‘Scots Singer of the Year’ at the Scots Trad Music Awards in 2008 and more recently two nominations at the 2012 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for ‘Folk Singer of the Year’ and ‘Best Traditional Track’ for her song ‘Sweet Lover of Mine’ on her 2011 album release ‘Traiveller’s Joy’. 

Emily has toured worldwide performing on the main stage of many of the world’s biggest folk festivals.  She has also taken her music to audiences in Japan, Russia, New Zealand and North America.
