I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks to my guests on the album, to @fatherofschmO for the artwork and to @CreativeScots for their support.
We were lucky enough to work with @barryreidmusic who did a wonderful job capturing our live sounds at @gorbalssound
and @granshousestudio and did a power of work helping us create our finished soundscapes.

💥Are there any young Whistle players out there, or does anyone know of any, that NEED a Low D Whistle but genuinely can’t afford one? I have been given a Goldie whistle by Colin himself to gift to an up and coming player that might struggle to buy one. DM me if this is you!💥
