Emily Smith

Emily Smith

Dumfriesshire born singer Emily Smith first made her mark on the Scottish music scene when she won the 2002 BBC Radio Scotland's Young Scottish Traditional Musician of the Year Award. Her voice blends delicacy with surprising power and is equally alluring whether enriched by instrumental backing or unaccompanied. A talented songwriter and multi-instrumentalist as well as being recognised as one of the finest interpreters of Scottish song. Her affection for collecting poetry and song books often results in reworked ballads and original settings which are seamlessly interwoven with her own descriptive songs. 'One of Scottish folk music's brightest exports' (The Herald).
