Persian Omelette by Juliette Lemoine

‘Persian Omelette’ is the first single to be released from my debut album ‘Soaring’, which celebrates and explores the theme of freedom.

‘Wind Rose’ is the title track of fiddle player Jocelyn Pettit’s third album. Composed after returning to Canada from living in Glasgow, it is an uplifting opener symbolizing the start of a journey.

The Dawn Chorus (radio edit) by Megan Henderson

The Dawn Chorus is the opening track on Megan Henderson’s debut album ‘Pilgrim Souls’, an instrumental and vocal suite inspired by the work of fellow Fort William native Christine Clark, whose dream-like, impressionistic paintings depict – in the artist’s own words – “imagined landscapes and narratives which transport us to unknown lands, conveying moments of […]
