Liona has been awarded four of Canada's Juno Awards, presented to her by the music industry for be- ing "Instrumental Artist of the Year". She has also been a recipient of the Vanier Award and the Order of Canada for her cultural contributions. After achieving so much in her successful career, Liona Boyd strikes out in a totally different direction breaking out of her "First Lady of the. Guitar" mold. Her fans are sure to be enthralled with her new sound. Her newest album, "Persona", reflects the multi- faceted nature of Liona's talent. The idea of an ex- perimental new sound had been floating around for sometime but started to become reality when Liona con- tacted Michael Kamen (of Pink Floyd and the Eurythmics fame) early in 1985. They met in Munich, New York and Toronto selecting repertoire and plann- ing the concept of "Persona". Finally in London, England after a ten day recording session, "Persona" was born. Many talented musicians have successfully contributed to the 'album including Eric Clapton and other musicians who have worked with Pink Floyd, John Lennon, Elton John and the Eurythmics. As Liona extensively tours Canada this fall in sup- port of "Persona", her appearance in London is great- ly anticipated. Popular with audiences all over, her one night concert in this area is sure to be a huge success.
