Celebrate the contemporary sounds of Lau, Admiral Fallow and Karine Polwart alongside classic craft from The Campbells Of Greepe and Kathleen MacInnes.

THE ROUGH GUIDE TO SCOTTISH MUSIC

Scotland’s modern social history has engendered the re-imagining of folk and traditional music to suit life amidst the mountains, on the farm or croft, up the close-stairs of city tenements and now as part of a modern, mobile and cosmopolitan world. This Rough Guide offers a contemporary view of Scotland’s finest folk architects.  
Contemporary trio Lau are named after the Orcadian word meaning ‘natural light’ and shed new rays of meaning on the Scottish repertoire. Acoustic quartet Salt House sing ‘Katie Cruel’ accompanied by a chilling fiddle that echoes high in its tessitura before looping cellular minimal motifs.
Another traditional re-interpretation is contributed by the multi-generational family ensemble, The Campbells Of Greepe, one of the great dynasties of Gaelic music rooted in a part of the Isle of Skye famed for its musical connections. ‘Sìos Dhan An Abhainn’ is Gaelic reworking of the 1867 African-American spiritual ‘The Good Old Way’, and inspired by the Coen Brothers’ film, ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’. Joy Dunlop & Twelfth Day also give us an updated version of the traditional waulking (cloth-working) song ‘Faca Sibh Raghaill Na Ailean?’. 
Young traditional music champion Rona Wilkie has blended her dual musical heritage in classical and traditional music, working with her Norwegian-Swedish partner Marit Fält’s låtmandola (a ten-string Nordic mandola) and a classical string quartet. Together they explore, in a beautiful slow air and joyous jig, music that belongs to both traditions and to the coastlines either side of the North Sea. 
Illustrating the current blurring of borders between Scotland’s folk and indie pop worlds, Glaswegians Admiral Fallow forge a path into this territory with their full-on track ‘The Paper Trench’. 
Celebrate the new folk radiating from Scotland’s creative core with this Rough Guide album.
