Real World

Double 180 Gram Yellow Coloured Vinyl. This double LP features two bonus tracks: Martyn’s remix of Peter Gabriel’s Sky Blue and Mackay’s Memoirs, the final recorded work before Martyn’s death in 2005. Grit is on grit-box yellow coloured vinyl. This is my story about triumph in the face of struggle. It is a story of the people and songs I grew up with, and most importantly, it is their voices, traditions and the inspiration they have given to be passed on to the next generation. Split between the songs of travelling people (Roma) and the Gaelteachd traditions of the Hebrides it brings together by far the strongest links to the 'real' folk culture in Scotland. Virtually all the songs and narrative were sampled from vinyl records or from original quarter-inch tape recordings, the sources of which were mostly recorded from 1950 onwards.
