Space Heroes & Other Fools 02 - Ballad Of A Spaceman [HQ]

Dambusters

This piece was commissioned by BBC Radio 4's 'Playing the Skyline' series. Created by me and using an old poem composed in the 1800s, the song gives us an insight into a controversial time in Highland history, when of hundreds of families - in this particular case, from the Strathglass area - were cleared from their land and forced to emigrate.  

The music is still a work in progress…but here it is for a wee listen.  

Thanks to Jo MacDonald for help with Gaelic, to Tom Doorley for his beautiful string arrangements, and to the talented and intuitive musicians: Eamon Doorley (bouzouki), Duncan Chisholm (fiddle/viola), Tony Byrne (guitar), Donald Shaw (accordion), Ewen Vernal (double bass).  Recorded July 2014, Gorbals Sound Glasgow. Engineered by Jimmy Neilsen.
