Clair Tierney
Individual
Ardentinny
Her first album, Of The Deepest Dye, was released in 2010 and now, after a sojourn in the forest of Argyll to raise her two children, she is back with new material. Inspired by her children’s sparkling perceptions of living close to nature, her long awaited second album deals with isolation,
escapism, single motherhood, feminism and restoration in equal measure and, as with her debut album, champions undervalued Scottish
women from history along the way.
Her second studio album Inside a Story was recorded in Moniaive with producer and multiinstrumentalist Tim Jones. Inspired by her
experiences of raising two children in the forest of Argyll, their walks in the wild leave the songs with an other-worldly atmosphere, rich in poetic
language, with more than a nod to the fable tradition. Her sensitive vocals and guitar work support the delicate storytelling while her harmonies layered with production arrangements add some boldness and gravitas to her choruses.
When Tierney is not working on her music she writes poetry and teaches young people with complex needs.
