Andy MacKenzie & John MacPhail (Loudon Records, LDN 460) • • Ending 2020 with this: a Scottish folk album. Not remotely rock & roll, but this one is special. ••• This minor album was recorded by my dad and John MacPhail, his musical partner at the time. ••• I'm not entirely sure when this was put out. I've read sources online that put it around 1980. My dad can't remember exactly; which is fair enough seeing as he's going to be 80 next year ••• Copies can be found floating around on discogs which I didn't expect, but thought was pretty cool. ••• He also put out a solo album under the Loudon label ( LDN 467) that can also be found on discogs. ••• His musical tastes are a bit different to mine to some degree, but he introduced me to Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Elvis & The Dubliners to name a few. He was always my greatest champion when I was learning to play bass guitar, started gigging in bands & when I started to study sound engineering. ••• I just wanted to share this album here because I've got to thank my dad for showing me the door to the world of music for me. ••• Like many of you, it's been music that has served as part of my mental centre during this chaotic, clusterfuck of a year. ••• Where would we be without music? The answer to that question doesn't bear thinking about. ••• As the Greek philosopher Plato said "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination & life to everything." • • #andymackenzie #johnmacphail #scottishfolk #loudonrecords #music #lovemusic #instamusic #instavinyl #vinyljunkie #vinyladdict #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylcommunity #record #recordcollection #recordcollector #onmyturntable https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeMOo_Mqcz/?igshid=4az1um7a90jk

Some Scots Gaelic song I’m too lazy to looks up

[babymoof]

i just wanted to post this song because it is actually beautiful 

so Julie Fowlis is a scottish singer, and most of her songs are in Scottish Gaelic (including this one). Her primary genre is Scottish-folk - and i’m down for any type of folk. I have absolutely no clue what this song is about, but it just conjures images in my mind of, like misty mountains and rivers and shit. idk.

also i am 1/4 Irish, and grew up with Irish folk music, as well as English folk.

i found her because she sings the song “touch the sky” from Disney’s Brave. - one of my favourite Disney songs.

SAMUEL NICHOLSON / FRIDA *Unsigned*

Samuel Nicholson is a Scottish songwriter who has been plying his trade on the London live circuit recently (often found at Sam Bowcher‘s wonderful intimate BARK gigs). His music found my ears last year, on the back of a trusty recommendation from fellow Scottish singer Niamh Downes (Neev). Ballroom was the first song to get a spin, the rest followed.

Nicholson’s rugged, gravely vocal delivery is what gives him a stand-out glow. Throw in his distinct lyrical ability on top of that and you can see why many people in London have been eagerly awaiting his new album. ‘Frida‘ is a track from the forthcoming record and of course, has me itching for more.

If you would like to see a wonderful video of Samuel performing live in a back garden – give his Bramblebury Sessions performance a blast. I’ve watched it an unhealthy amount of times. (He opens his two song set with a stripped down version of ‘Frida‘)

Husky tones, poignant words and catchy melodies – that is Samuel Nicholson.

Another single drops at the end of the month.
