ALBUM BOOKS
GET BACK TO ACTIVE MUSIC LISTENING
Our mission is to broaden the reach of Scottish Traditional and Folk Music to a broader audience. With two decades of nurturing the art, our commitment remains resolute - working with music and people we love, with respect and innovation. Amidst changing times, one facet endures: the power of ‘active’ music appreciation. As vinyl and CDs continue to spin, we celebrate the connection between the melody and the narrative.
These books breathe life into songs and tunes, unveiling inspirations and stories behind each one. This is the start of a journey, bringing you album books to consume time and time again, discovering fresh nuances with each listen and read.
We thank you for engaging with the music.

"Active music listening brings us back to a time when music and storytelling were experienced with full attention and appreciation. Our goal is to preserve this tradition, emphasising the importance of the album as a storytelling journey—inviting audiences to engage deeply with the music's meaning, heritage, and the stories it tells."
