About

Karine Polwart ( ka-REEN POL-wort) (born 23 December 1970) is a Scottish singer-songwriter. She writes and performs music with a strong folk and roots feel, her songs dealing with a variety of issues from alcoholism to genocide. She has been most recognised for her solo career, winning three awards at the BBC Folk Awards in 2005, and was previously a member of Malinky and Battlefield Band.

Polwart was, until they split amicably in 2012, a member of The Burns Unit. She also collaborated with The Fruit Tree Foundation on its debut album, First Edition.
