(June 2003) 6 tracks (16 mins): Silence * The Clock * Gossip * The Bard Is Well * Lily * The Fold.

Six original songs inspired by experiences of life on the island of Mull, from the critically acclaimed Dundee singer-songwriter.

Michael Marra's songs have been recorded by perfomers including Hue and Cry, Leo Sayer, Kiki Dee, Barbara Dickson, The McCalmans and June Tabor. A one-time member of Dundee 70s legends Skeets Boliver, he has performed more recently with Liz Lochead, Patti Smith and Eddi Reader.

Michael spent several weeks in Tobermory in April 2003 to work on this collection of songs as part of the Interface project, a series of music and visual art pieces commissioned by An Tobar arts centre.

Michael Marra (vocals, piano, guitar, harmonium, moothie, bass moothie) with local Mull singers and musicians: Kenny Fraser (fiddle, whistle), Gordon Maclean (double bass), Petrea Cooney (vocals, clarsach), Iain 'Stretch' MacFadyen (drums), The Dawn Chorus (vocals - Sheena Walker, Fiona MacInnes, Judith Jardine, Fiona Jappy and Joanie MacKay).

"Indisputedly the finest songwriter in Scotland. His musical vision is extremely wide, melding Fifties pop, church music, Dr John and a Randy Newmanesque eye for beauty in the commonplace" (The List)

"Arch, witty songwriting" (Q Magazine)

"Marra is a first-class writer who avoids all the trappings of MOR sterility" (Blue Juice)

"Marra's music is soaked in the Scottish Experience, strained through a gauze of ragtime-blues piano and shot with filaments of traditional folk and American voices ... with a breath of his Woodbined voice he picks at the raw bones of our history and society with harsh eloquence... One of my top ten singer-songwriters of all time" (The Scotsman)

Read an interview with Michael about the project.
