Hilda Doyle has been singing and performing in Central Ohio for more than 50 years, and it has always been a family affair. She started performing as a duo with her brother in 1968, and her daughters Heather and Stephanie began joining her when they were young children in the 1970s. In 2001, mother and daughters formed the Ladies of Longford (with Elizabeth Blickenstaff coming on in 2003), putting contemporary twists on traditional Celtic music. They stopped by the WOSU studios to perform their version of “Baron’s Heir,” a Scottish ballad that dates back to the mid-1800s.
