Iona Lane’s beautifully subtle songsmithery is underpinned by a deep awe and wonder for the natural world – the poetic depth in her lyrics and music becomes a natural force of its own.

Her long-awaited debut album 'Hallival' is inspired by natural landscapes, scientific discoveries, equality, human relationships and the supernatural, all tied together by a strong sense of place and a love for being in wild places. This year Iona released the EP 'Bring The Tide In', this collection of songs is threaded with nostalgia and childhood memories.
