  Hello, I’m emailing to submit the Iona Fyfe Band’s new release, East for review. The 6-track CD draws inspiration from the Oral Tradition of the East of Scotland and each track has a distinct link with the East and North East – presenting the songs in a contemporary and universal manner. Steeped in heritage and culture of Aberdeenshire, the project aims to encapsulate the essence of Eastern Folksong, Dialect, Language and Repertoire whilst creating modern interpretations of peculiar and likewise well-known folksongs. Musicians featuring in the EP include Chris Ferrie, Callum Cronin, Charlie Grey and guest Celtic Connections 2016 Danny Kyle Award-Winner, Ross Miller.

        Hi, Keith,
        No folk clubs in the The Monmouth area, unfortunately. The Forest Folk Club (www.forestfolkclub.com/), which meets fortnightly at The Royal Oak, Park Hill, Whitecroft, Lydney GL15 4PG is the nearest club; they used to be based in Monmouth, but had to move years ago when the pub became unavailable. The Folk On The Lawn Festival, Abbey Mill, Tintern, is happening on July 13-16 (www.folkonthelawn.com/).
        Best wishes,
        Mick Tems
