A 'Little Bird' At Christmas (and news of 2021)
on 24th December 2020
Hello ‘Society Members’ & Friends,
Wishing you and your families a safe and happy Christmas and a healthy 2021, at the end of what has been an unheralded year for us all. I’d like to share this little film, a new arrangement of ‘Little Bird‘, recorded in August back home at An Tobar Arts Centre, Tobermory, isle of Mull (in my old classroom no less). It kicks off their ‘Music For Winter Solitude’series. It was such a special joy to make some (socially distanced) music in this room in this year of all years with good friends and great musicians: Sorren MacIean, Hannah Fisher & Seonaid Aitken. Recorded & Mixed by Gordon MacIean, filmed by Gary Ebdy, Lunas Live.
In other news, I have been in making mode, working on new words and music: I very much hope to have a new MHS album in 2021 for you. Plans are also afoot for next year to mark the 20th anniversary of my debut album ‘Loss‘ (which makes me feel like quite the spring chicken as you can imagine…). I’ve also been kept on my toes this year working with the exciting new songwriters of the future at BIMM Institute, London, an inspiring bunch.
I shall leave you below with my Xmas single (my chance to be Slade for the day): MHS ‘Christmas Is Here Again‘.
Keep safe. I hope all the little birds sleep well…
Colin
