Details:
Fiona was born in Scotland and moved to Australia at an
early age. Throughout her childhood she was strongly
influenced by her Gaelic speaking grandmother ^once a
singer with the Glasgow Orpheus Choir. Whilst growing
up in Australia the arts were highly valued in her home.
Though learning ballet and classical piano Fiona always
loved singing. When she was in her early teens she
received encouragement from the choirmistress at her
convent school and this led her to pursue her singing
seriously. While she avoided formal voice training she
embraced folk music and began to sing professionally ''-.
when she was seventeen.
When Odetta was on tour in Australia she heard Fiona
singing and further encouraged her. She began to sing regularly at venues such as
the now legendary Traynor''s Folk Club, The Outpost Inn and The Dan
O''Connell.
Fiona became a regular feature artist at the early National Folk Festivals, along
with her husband and fellow musician Kenny White.
Despite early plans to move to London to pursue her singing career Fiona made
a conscious decision to remain in Australia, devoting her self to raising her 6
children while still maintaining contact with the local music scene and making
occasional guest appearances.
Now the children have grown and moved on, giving Fiona the time and space to
again concentrate on her singing. Fiona possesses a strong passionate and
emotive voice which is always great to listen to, whether she is singing traditional
ballads or more contemporary songs. Unlike many singers who started out as
"folk singers" Fiona has extended her repertoire to include many musical styles.
Myths of Time is a welcome beginning to this new phase of her musical life.
