About

This is my 7th Studio album, 40yrs on from the first release with my original band Island Express in 1979. As with all my previous albums this one, maybe more than the others, with its theme of emigration, represents the musical influences I have gradually incorporated into my compositions in a more personal way over this long period of time, and is perhaps an accurate musical snapshot of where I am at now, and how this has developed using our Gaelic language as the main source and inspiration to my songs.
