New Album

Thursday, September 2, 2010

Hi Folks

thought I would let you know that I have made my frist album which will be ready for release on Monday 20th September and there's quite a bit of banjo on it from myself and the mighty Martin Simpson!

Now Glasgow-based, I returned to Berneray in the Outer Hebrides, joined by causeway to North Uist, to record my first self-titled album. Engineered by good friend Will Lamb and featuring Ali Hutton (Old Blind Dogs) on the Great Highland War Pipe, Sean Óg Graham (Beoga) on Button Accordion, Martin O’Neill (Julie Fowlis Band) on bodhran and percussion, James Lindsay (Breabach) on double bass, Kris Drever (Lau) on guitar and Martin Simpson on Weissenborn and 5-string banjo, the album is a bold blend of the old and new. My own compositions draw mainly on my experiences, travels and musical adventures from the last four years, which have seen me travel Europe, embracing new music and cultures, the influences of which can be heard dusted through the album.

I went out to Uist with Will to look for a venue but no where really worked. Will had a wild card up his sleeve and so he drove us both up to Berneray and took me to the Community Hall there. It instantly was clear that this was the place to do it. The community there were very welcoming and I am so incredibly happy with the final product. The music turned out even better than I could imagine and everyone involved did their very best by me.
