Fiona Driver is a young and talented fiddler from Orkney. Brought up on these beautiful and remote islands she was home educated and discovered music at 14. Fiddling soon became an obsession and she quickly became a very good player, winning many competitions for playing and composing including Orkney Young Musician of the Year aged 16.
Since then she has recorded a solo album,The Orkney Fiddler, and produced a book of her own tunes, Fiona Driver's Orkney Tune Book. Her new CD is being recorded at the moment and will be out in a few weeks, but not in time for the folk festival.
It's going to be a mix of Fiona's tunes and a couple of surprises, and after a long wait this overdue CD should be a cracker! Recording is well underway and it won't be long.
Fiona has composed well over 150 tunes and they have been played and recorded by a few different folk and have appeared in several tune books.
Fiona has a successful career playing and teaching in Orkney and has played at high profile gigs like WOMAD, and supported Hayseed Dixie, Donnie Munroe, and Albert Lee among others.
Fiona is also a very keen gardener and loves hiking and camping in the Highlands.
