isla ratcliff
Isla Ratcliff is a Scottish fiddle player, singer and composer from Edinburgh. Her debut album The Castalia features traditional and self-composed tunes inspired by the 4 months that she spent in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 2019, including a trip to New Brunswick to meet her distant relatives. Described as ‘quite the best debut album that has come this way in a long time’ (The Living Tradition), Isla’s album expresses her love for the tradition, its ethos of community, and the power of music to bring people together.
