I’m thrilled with the album (phew… my 10th!), the second in my authors collaboration series — I’m proud to have  worked with these world-leading, award-winning internationally renowned authors using their original words on a single significant photograph to them: Len Pennie @misspunnypennie @irvine.welsh , Ali Smith, @colummccann.author @alexandermccallsmith , Yiyun Li, @louisewelsh550 @jehan.bseiso @irenosenokojie @paullynchauthor @dan_zep Dan Richards & Alan Johnson

Featuring brilliant guest musicians: @sorrenmaclean  @hannaffisher Andy Samson @duntmusic Gordon MacIean London African Gospel Choir

Can’t wait for any of you out there to enter our frames, hear the music and, we hope, take flight! Made on Mull with the legend that is Gordon MacIean at Bb Studios, Tobermory. They’ve taken me around the globe but it seems that photos often bring us home — Colin
