Iesum Dominum (Praised be the Trinity) Fiona Mackenzie

Feasgar Math a h-uile duine!  Dont let that scare you! Thats Scottish Gaelic and I want to let you all into the lovely secret that is Gaelic Song. Im principally a Gaelic singer although I do sing classical and Scots too. I live to sing and want to do more. Gaelic song is every bit as lovely and stunning as any other genre and deserves to be heard more widely. I love my music and love to experiment - listen to my treatment of Cohens Halleluia - in Gaelic its Alleluia! From my album Duan Nollaig on Greentrax.

I frequently play with Irvin Duguid (www.irvinduguid.com) who produced both Duan Nollaig and my recent album, "A Good Suit of Clothes" ( July 2009), both released on Greentrax, and my daughter Katie who is a singer too and a clarsach ( harp) player.

I also teach Gaelic Song  and have been lucky enough to travel to sing in New York, Washington, Bonn, Estonia,Holland,Nova Scotia,France, Estonia, Ireland and Wales.
