A group of proud students are recording a track right here at Garnock Campus!
Matthew Wright, Isla Heaney, Emma Graham and Maxwell Aitken-Walker are busy putting down their track in the Music Department.
The plan is to record a rendition of two of Scottish folk music star Allan MacDonald’s songs, Jewels of the Ocean and We’re a Case, the Bunch of Us.
The instrument itinerary will be as follows:
Isla Heaney – Clarinet, Bass Drum
Maxwell Aitken-Walker – Bass Guitar
Emma Graham – Flute
Matthew (me) – Tin Whistle, Jew’s Harp, Shaker, Piano
Matthew said:
“These tunes delve deeply into the Scottish landscape, and our wee twist on Allan’s tunes is a testimony to how important they are. Allan has a recording of the tunes on his album with Maighread Struibheart, Cholla Mo Run. For a listen to the recording, search ‘Allan MacDonald We’re a Case, the Bunch of Us (medley)’ – these two tunes are the last two in the set.”
Taing mhòr a h-uile duine, and we will see how this track turns out!!
