Archive Trails
In January 2011, three bold stravaigers – Alasdair Roberts, Aileen Campbell, and Drew Wright – set forth upon a twelve-week commissioning residency in The School of Scottish Studies Archives at The University of Edinburgh.
This site tracks their progress as they listen to tapes, sift through photos, conduct their own fieldwork and begin to develop new performances from their findings.

Helmsdale Herring
Another song available to download and this one is very much a direct outcome of the Archive Trails residency; a reworking of Ewan MacColl’s “Shoals Of Herring”.
Based on research mentioned in an earlier post I have adapted the lyrics of the song, transporting the narrator from Great Yarmouth to the East Neuk of Fife. Last week I was up in Helmsdale to sing some songs at Timespan and had an opportunity to record inside the old Icehouse which was once used to preserve fish (salmon not herring).
Thanks also to Jen Gordon @ Anstruther Fisheries Museum
