Solo album from the vocalist and frontman with Idlewild.

Five of the eleven songs that make up My Secret Is My Silence were written with Roddy's Idlewild band mate and co-songwriter, guitarist Rod Jones, two with the album's producer (and BBC Radio 2 Folk Musician of the Year 2003) John McCusker, two with childhood friend and singer in Glasgow's alternative folk band Foxface, Michael Angus and one with acclaimed Borders-based folk singer Karine Polwart.

The album, recorded in South Yorkshire over nine days, features a band made up of all the songwriters, as well as drummer David Gow and bassist Ailidh Lennon (who is also Roddy's wife) from the Scottish band Sons And Daughters. There are also appearances from some of folk music's most accomplished players, flautist Michael McGoldrick, accordionist Andy Cutting, guitarist Ian Carr, and popular folk singers Kate Rusby and Dave Burland.

My Secret Is My Silence is an album full of stories about language and communication, about nature and the people that surround us and make our environment. Inspired as much by the poetry of Robert Frost and George MacKay Brown as by the time Roddy has spent up in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, which has long been the source for many Idlewild songs and albums.

Idlewild have been a key fixture for music fans around the world for the last ten years. Formed in 1995, they've released five critically acclaimed albums (two debuting in the UK top ten) and twelve top forty singles, as well as touring all over the world, on their own as well as opening for the likes of U2, Coldplay, REM and the Rolling Stones.

"These are songs that would have never lived with Idlewild, but are still very much a part of me. Being able to write with Rod, and John and Karine and Michael made me feel (for two weeks) like I was part of a new band, and this allowed me to feel free to describe myself in a way I've wanted to for a long time, in a context I was completely comfortable with, and I think it shows." (Roddy Woomble)
