Joy is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of a new collaborative CD between herself and Scottish duo, Twelfth Day. Entitled ‘Fiere,’ (Scots for friend or companion) the album is a song cycle that explores the the lives, loves and experiences of women in Scotland. They have taken English, Scots and Gaelic poems by fantastic female poets including Jackie Kay, Carol Ann Duffy & Meg Bateman and turned them into songs – a fantastic new experience for all involved!
