Can you help the amazing Grace Stewart-Skinner achieve her target and make her debut album?
For the last six months I have been working hard on my exciting new project, Auchies Spikkin’ Auchie. I am absolutely bursting to share what I have done but I just need a few more pennies to get me there!
Auchies Spikkin’ Auchie is a musical project celebrating the wonderful fishing heritage of my wee Black Isle village, Avoch (Auch). The finished album will intertwine field recordings of Avochies speaking in their local dialect with my musical compositions creating an encapsulating audio experience depicting fishing traditions and culture, poetry, and an essence of community.
All the music has been written and I have arranged it with my wonderful band, now we just need to get into the studio so I can make and produce the album!
I want to capture a feeling of sitting in a room with Avochies and just soaking in the words and stories, oh and there just so happens to be a four piece band in the corner.
If the cultural importance of this project wasn’t enough, this is also my debut album! It is unbelievably exciting to have written an album’s worth of music (that I actually like as well!!) and I have come so far now that I just have to share it with you all.
