MANAGEMENT

We work across contemporary Scottish Traditional music to guide and oversee the careers and development of HEISK, Valtos, Evie Waddell, Ross Whyte & Alasdair Whyte. As managers, we deal with strategy & artistic development, career planning, scheduling, team & financial management, etc.

RECORD LABEL

Across Scottish Traditional and Folk music we have released EPs, albums and books from a variety of incredible artists and projects, including Findlay Napier, Evie Waddell, Man of the Minch, Eabhal, HEISK Alasdair Whyte and Ross Whyte.

In 2024, we launchED our new music publishing division. We administer the composition rights of Andrew O’Donnell (Beluga Lagoon). We are looking to work with various other writers and composers across the Traditional and Folk music genres, bringing more creative and financial opportunities to writers in Scotland and the Scottish music industry.

PUBLISHING

SYNC

In 2023, we launched our synchronisation division, working with a variety of artists and composers in Celtic Music to pitch a varied catalogue (Scottish, Irish & Welsh) of songs and recordings across film, TV, trailers, games and advertising - extending the reach of the genre and bringing in more money for the the artists and composers we working with and the overall Scottish economy.

PROJECT MGMT

We regularly help out Scottish artists with funding applications or project management of release campaigns. We worked with Dlù on their most recent album campaign from initial strategy and funding application through to guidance and advice through registrations, manufacture and marketing.
