Set for release in January 2019, Dark Turn of Mind was produced by Graham Rorie at Rumley Sounds and features a stellar folk line-up of musicians such as Aidan Moodie (Siobhan Miller, Gnoss), Rory Matheson (TRIP) and Graham Rorie (Gnoss).

Aberdeenshire folksinger Iona Fyfe has become one of Scotland’s finest young ballad singers, rooted deeply in the singing traditions of the North East of Scotland. At twenty-years-old, Iona has established a strong voicing of place in her repertoire and has been described as a “major young voice in the continuous skein of the ballad tradition” (Irish Music Magazine)
