I'm doing my own show at @grinneabhat_ for the first time on Friday 15 May. I hope you will want to come. Here's the poster. To reserve tickets email info@bragararnol.org. It'll be a mix of AIRD and older stuff and will include a supporting set from Michael Winder. All spreading of word much appreciated. Very unusually for me I've got two gigs coming up next month: a full show at @grinneabhat_ on Friday 15 May, plus a short set with @ralphtonge for his exhibition launch at @dusgadh_bailenacille on Friday 1 May. Ralph photographed my album launch at @anlanntair last month and I'm very happy to be part of People and Place, his new collection of portraits (I'll also be interviewing him at An Lanntair's next Artist Gathering on Friday 24 April). A Billion Stones, from my AIRD album, has had over 5000 plays on Spotify since it was on @bbc6music a few days ago. If that was you, thank you for listening. Here are the stones that inspired the song. Pale Sun / bright rainbow. A Billion Stones, from my new AIRD album, was on @bbc6music yesterday. I'm very grateful to @gideoncoe (guest presenting Guy Garvey's Finest Hour) whose support of my music over the years has meant a lot to me. It was thrilling to be played right before April 5th by Talk Talk which was a formative influence on my writing, AND I'm especially pleased that Gideon chose A Billion Stones, which was the first song I'd recorded at home since I was a teenager and the first new thing I'd written after well over a year of writer's block. Hearing @hamishbrownmusic's mix of this song was what convinced me I might have another album in me after all. I love the new @frasermacbeath.av exhibition at @anlanntair, a properly immersive installation whose technological elements apparently change depending on how many people are in the space, a comment on depopulation and the loss of Hebridean culture. Today it was just me in there and it felt like a ghost village, an alarm clock ringing relentlessly like a warning. SOUND ON for extra spookiness. I enjoyed chatting to Alistair Braidwood for his @scotswhayhae show, as you can see from this photo. If you're at all interested in why and how I made AIRD, this conversation is a good start. We covered a lot of ground, from the Cold War to the Blue Nile and from Gaelic place names to Blade Runner (as well as the brilliance of my producer @hamishbrownmusic). The whole interview - filmed in my 'home studio' - is now on YouTube at www.youtube.com/scotswhayhae You can hear me talking about AIRD on the @scotswhayhae show on @camglenradio tonight. AIRD album launch, @anlanntair, 23 March. Thank you @ralphtonge for the photos, to everyone who came out on a cold Wednesday night to see the show, and to the whole team at An Lanntair for being brilliant at every stage, from promotion to creating just the right ambience on the night (the art in the background is by @keithmcintyrestudio).
