Emily Smith

Emily Smith is one of the leading singers in the Scottish folk scene today. Her powerful, clear vocals have gained her award winning recognition in the folk scene worldwide. With song writing that has been compared to that of Joni Mitchell and presenting fresh, new interpretations of traditional songs she is carving out her own path in the current resurgence of folk music. Emily’s childhood was spent dancing to music, rather than performing it, in her mother’s dance school. She grew up assuming everyone knew how to do a highland fling and weekends were spent dancing at ceilidhs rather than nightclubs.
