Folk Club Iona Lane

Driven by awe and wonder of the natural world Iona Lane delivers poetic songs, with subtle musical touches and contemplative melodies that link unheard stories with the world we find ourselves in today. ‘Hallival’ is the long awaited debut album from Glasgow-based folk singer and songwriter Iona Lane.

Having found herself fascinated by folklore and folk stories from across the UK ‘Hallival’ is inspired by natural landscapes, scientific discoveries, equality, human relationships and the supernatural, all tied together by a strong sense of place and a love for being in wild places - creating something truly special.‘Hallival’ charted at #36 in the Official Folk Album Charts and was named by Folk Radio UK as #27 in their ‘Top Albums of 2022’. The album received widespread press including in The Guardian, WalkHighlands, BBC Radio 2 and The Scotsman to name a few. In 2023 Iona toured ‘Hallival’ extensively across the UK, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and joined Karine Polwart on a run of her tour dates in England. Iona joined Karine on stage for a few songs, an awe inspiring opportunity for audiences to see these two artists sing together.
