It was brilliant to get a tune with @herringtweets and Rory Matheson on Take the Floor last night @BBCRadioScot ahead of us heading out on the road next week. You can listen back here and look forward to hopefully seeing many of you along the way 🪗 🎻 🎹 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00282…

Delighted to see my new record included in this list!
And in amongst some really great albums too - I recommend having a listen to as many of them as you can.

Here’s the latest of my occasional attempts to populate X with nicer things.
“Nuallan” - music inspired by the roaring of stags in Coire Gabhail, Glencoe.

A wonderful visit to Alloway on Tuesday to try a tune or two on this remarkable piece of history!
A very special fiddle believed to have been played by Robert Burns himself…and I got to hold it! (I maybe even had a cheeky pluck…🎻)
Wonderful day in a wonderful place with @GaryInnes @DuncanWChisholm @herringtweets, and thanks to @N_T_S

***SINGLE No. 2 OUT TODAY!***
This is a snippet of the latest single from my forthcoming album. The tune's called "Coire Mhic Fhearchair" and it's the companion piece to the single I released a couple of weeks ago.
You see, the album explores how we connect and interact with…
…the world around us and what role our imagination plays in that. As such, the pieces of music on the album all exist in pairs: one piece inspired by an imagined visit to a chosen location, the other by a "real", physical visit to that same place.
This music was inspired by…

I visited Simon Emmerson in the twilight of his days, knowing he had only weeks left. It was hard to say goodbye for the final time, but he sensed my emotions, smiled, and said, "I'll send you some mixes."
Here’s one of them: The Hawk Owl’s Lament

Calling it 'Lost Valley' is part of the problem too.
Coire Gabhail as it's been known a long time before any 'lost valley' nonsense.
The creep of erasure that all adds into the loss of connection to places & land, a process which we then see the excesses and symptoms of here.
Always nice to have a blether with “Auntie Liz”!
