Sylvia continues to be in demand as a solo singer, being a frequent guest at singing festivals in this country and in Ireland and was recognized as "Scots Singer of The Year" at The Scots Trad Awards of 2006. Among the very top flight of Scots singers, Sylvia is a dramatic performer with a wonderful voice. She can render passion, humor and gentle sentiment with equal ease and has been described as "one of the finest ballad singers of her generation" Her deep commitment to her songs and her-involvement in them bring them to Ufe in a way that few other singers can achieve. This album highlights and emphasizes these comments.
