Back to Our Roots

Vintage IONA! The third IONA album (released in 1992 as a cassette and now only available as a digital download) earned wide acclaim from both critics and fans. It was our first recording with Diana McFadden on cello - a collaboration that was to last for seven years and during which IONA pioneered the "Pan-Celtic" style which has become our hallmark. It includes music from Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, Isle of Man, Scotland, and Wales. Several of these tracks have become perennial favorites and are still in our concert repertoire 23 years later!
