FIONNA DUNCAN – YOUNG AND FOOLISH

“I am proud to present as my first vocal artist on
Tentoten Records Ms Fionna Duncan. We first met some 20 years
ago, and almost annually since at festivals, and her approach
to jazz singing has always impressed me. Drawing from 45 years'
experience, this long overdue album supports her legendary
status in Scottish circles and further afield.” Clark
Tracey, 10to10
“Duncan's vocal style is part silk and part sandpaper.
She is a hidden treasure with a delightful persona.”
