The Burnsong Songhouse, Dumfries, December 2006

I was lucky enough to be invited by Dumfries and Galloway Arts Association to participate in the Burnsong Songhouse, getting to stay in the amazing “house on the shore” near Dumfries with the lovely people above: Emma Pollock, Karine Polwart, MC Soom T, Michael Johnston, Sushil K Dade, (Future Pilot AKA), King Creosote (Kenny Anderson) and also Chris Difford (not pictured as he was already on the way to another Burnsong gig!)

It was a fantastic experience – writing, and then performing with such lovely, and talented, folk.

If you don’t already know their music,
I’d highly recommend checking out my fellow housemates below:
