Nature Disco & Spoken Word Volume 10
We’ve produced a special mix for Caught by the River which was first aired on James Endeacott’s Morning Glory breakfast show, Soho Radio on Monday 2 September.
Tommy: “The idea of this mix was simmering prior to Arab Strap frontman Aidan Moffat sending us his offering for our album-closer ‘Be The Hammer’. To us, Aidan’s wonderful half-spoken, half-sung Falkirk drawl seemed to complement our idea beautifully. It cemented Andrew and I’s shared appreciation of spoken word and music. It can be such a magical combination.”
Andrew: “We wanted to try and showcase a diverse range of Scottish writers and musicians, new and not-so-new, whose work we appreciate and are grateful for. It’s a quiet celebration, a wee snapshot of some of the wonderful artists who contribute to the ever-evolving Scottish story. At a time when arts funding in Scotland is being threatened and withdrawn it feels a timely reminder of just how vital the artists and the arts are.”
