Evoking traditional, Celtic and many other influences from around the world, the debut solo album from Fiona will have your emotions soaring and tumbling as they are swept along the journey of a young woman's life and loves. Fiona's powerful collaboration with Cathal Synnott, Musical Director of Riverdance, and Ireland's premiere young producer, Mark McCabe has created an exciting contemporary Celtic World album.
Singing, writing, producing and playing the piano on this, her debut solo album, Fiona amply demonstrates the talent and skills she has developed during her musical life. Her work is greatly inspired by her travels around the world, including singing in 21 countries on 5 continents over the past 10 years.
With strong Celtic roots and a love of all music, Fiona's first memories are of singing folk songs from around the world with her sisters. She was classically trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London after she won the prestigious BBC Choirgirl of the Year competition as a young teen. She became a well-known face on TV and made regular radio broadcasts in the UK. At 13 she was the "Little Match Girl" in a Christmas day spectacular at the Royal Albert Hall on BBC1, and went on to sing at venues all over the UK and tour world-wide. Her first album was a top ten classical chart release at the age of 14.
Drawn to the west Fiona moved to Ireland, where she joined world-renowned Celtic chamber choir Anúna as a soloist. Her distinctive, crystalline voice was soon picked up by Riverdance, and she became the lead singer in the show - touring internationally and throughout the UK.
Describing the vision behind her debut album, Fiona explains:
"The Last Rose is my story. How I have loved, lost and grown, as I have travelled through my life. I believe all music has a message for everyone - you only need to free your mind to the emotion. Evoking traditional, Celtic and other influences from around the world I want to make my songs accessible to the people of today. My friends, like yours, are culturally, politically and ethnically diverse. We all love, live and suffer the same way. Weaving together the expressions, music and styles of many cultures and times I have created an emotional journey, which I hope will leave you uplifted and refreshed. As a child I thought my family was my world. As a woman I know the world is my family..."
