about

'These are songs for settling down with, for listening to as they come, for listening to again... Something in the juxtaposition of mediums here made us think of the late, great David Bowie's song 'Sound and Vision', in which melancholic lyrics sit side by side with exuberant musical lines.' Zoe Strachan and Louise Welsh

'This inspired and inspiring collaborative project reminds us of the longstanding two-way traffic between music and the muse. What better duet can you get than the perfect harmony of songs and stories, lyrics and poetry, memory and melody?' Willy Maley - Scottish literary critic, writer, University of Glasgow Professor of Renaissance Studies

'Strong songwriting meets accessible, thought-provoking literary work. Hugely enjoyable!' Duncan McCrone - Singer Songwriter, Former Member Of The Clydesiders

'Refreshingly full of honesty in lyric and delivery and cuts to some truth about being human...' our job is just to listen well'. Like all good collaborations it weaves sensitively between artistic disciplines with imagination and re-invention, reminding us that it's stories that bind us.' Yvonne Lyon - Singer/songwriter
