Fans of award-winning Irish singer, Frances Black, will be delighted to learn that she is bringing her unique blend of charm and talent to Glasgow.

Ever since she first appeared as a solo artiste on the music scene in the early 1990s, Frances has enjoyed an enduring popularity that is as much attributable to her enchanting personality as to her beautiful voice.

Having been a vocalist with the internationally popular band Arcady, it was her involvement in the Woman's Heart albums and tours that placed Frances firmly in the public eye, and led to the release of her first solo album, Talk to Me, which was the number one best-selling album in Ireland for ten weeks.

She has since released seven best-selling solo albums, including her most recent 25 track folk collection album, This Love Will Carry.

The extent of Frances's popularity and talent has been reflected in the awards and accolades she has received for her albums and live performances.

She has twice been the recipient of one of the highest honours in Irish music, the prestigious Irish Recorded Music Association's, Best Irish Female Award.

She also won both the best solo artiste award and overall winner at the Celtic Fusion Festival Awards 2005 in conjunction with Irish Music Magazine, from over 40 nominated acts.

The sweetest voice of Ireland. (Nanci Griffith)

Her singing has an emotional impact that is staggering. She is, to quote Joni Mitchell, "A woman of heart and mind". (Folk Roots)
