SALT HOUSE - Lauren MacColl, Jenny Sturgeon & Ewan MacPherson - TOURING 2022 / 2023
Songs are central to Salt House. New songs that sound as if they’ve always been here.
Ancient ballads woken up. Poems given the tunes they’ve long deserved. Songs about place, politics, landscape and birds. A collaboration of writing and song from 3 of Scotland's foremost performers; Jenny Sturgeon, Ewan MacPherson and Lauren MacColl.
Their latest album 'Huam'
sees them solidify their reputation as fine interpreters of words both old and
new. It's their third collection of songs, and the second pairing with folk
heavyweight producer Andy Bell. It was released amidst the impressive roster of
Hudson Records in 2020.
Their most recent EP 'Working For Zeus' was released in 2021, featuring 5
amazing guest musicians Maija Kauhanen, Dean Honer, Cahalen Morrison, Petter
Frost Fadnes and Olav LuksengÄrd Mjelva.
The trio continue their
love of recording ‘on location’ with this album, taking themselves to rural
Argyllshire to finish writing and recording the songs which were crafted
between their homes of Inverness-shire and Shetland.
'Undersong' (2018) was recorded in the stunningly restored Telford Church on the island of
Berneray (as seen on Channel 4’s Restoration Man.) You can hear its tranquility in the sympathetic and dynamic recording. A sense of place captured both in songs and sound; Ewan claims if you listen closely you can even hear the flies in the overhead lights.
You’ll also hear echoes of
Pentangle, a touch of Dick Gaughan, murmurs of Scandinavian and Scots, all woven
into a music that’s traditional and new. The group’s meticulous attention to
detail, shared passions and care for their craft sees Salt House soar.
More
about the band:
Singer, guitarist and
harmonium player Jenny has a PHD in seabirds. Described by R2 Magazine as “a
singer-songwriter who brings together the old and new with a rare skill.” Her
songs are earthy and wise; she sings them with beauty and power.
Ewan brings to Salt House
a wealth of understanding and experience gained with the highly respected Fribo
and Shooglenifty. His songs are poetic and layered; his voice plaintive and
from the heart.
Lauren’s arrangements hold
a rich, deep, darkness flecked with gold. You can hear the Highlands in
Lauren’s elegant bowing, honed while performing with the quartet RANT, The
Rachel Newton Band and as a prolific and award-winning soloist. She plays with
warmth, wisdom and soul.
“Wonderful… a trio of exceptional talent.” – Folk Radio UK

A New Book - Thin Lizzy – A Peoples History by Richard Houghton
The Thin
Lizzy story is one of myths, legends, romance, rock riffs and some of the
greatest music to blast over the airwaves in the Seventies and Eighties. More
than anything, the band famed for hits ‘Whiskey in the Jar’, ‘The Boys are Back
in Town’ and ‘Waiting for an Alibi’ is remembered for exhilarating live
performances – the twin guitars, the explosive drumming, the dry ice, the
police sirens and the flash bombs, all orchestrated by iconic lead singer and
bass guitarist, Phil Lynott.
This affectionate oral history uses hundreds of previously unpublished
eyewitness accounts to take the reader on a journey through Lizzy’s career,
from Phil’s Dublin childhood to Lizzy’s early success, the trans-Atlantic
breakthrough with the album Jailbreak and the chasing of fame in America, and
on to the rows, the walk outs and the band’s break up.
It captures the line up changes that saw Lizzy get through five
guitarists – Eric Bell, Brian Robertson, Gary Moore, Snowy White and John Sykes
– and ends with the disappointment of failing to break America, the impact of
drugs on the band, Phil’s ill-fated attempt to continue his career post-Lizzy
and, ultimately, the sad loss of one of the most charismatic front men in music
history.
