About Isla Ratcliff
Celebrated Scottish artist Isla Ratcliff is set to play Kirkcaldy Acoustic Music Club on Thursday 20 April as part of her first ever headline solo tour this spring.
The musician will be showcasing material from her debut album The Castalia, as well as singing a selection of new songs, with her talented trio, featuring Ellen Gira on cello and Iona Reid on piano.
Hailing from Edinburgh, Isla is well-known on the Scottish music scene as an extremely versatile composer, arranger, fiddle player and singer. Much of her inspiration comes from her love of traditional music, and the powerful sense of community it holds when bringing people of all backgrounds together.
Her album The Castalia features both traditional and self-penned tunes based on the time she spent in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 2019. The trip made a lasting impact on Isla musically, allowing her to uncover new repertoire, and inspiring a fresh approach to interpreting tunes, with the resulting album hailed as “quite the best debut album that has come this way in a long time” by Living Tradition.
Audiences at Kirkcaldy Acoustic Music Club can look forward to witnessing Isla’s impeccable fiddle playing, as well as hearing her soulful voice, as the musician prepares to display her versatility first-hand on stage.
Location: The Polish Club, Polish Ex-Servicemens Club, Kirkcaldy, KY2 5TA
