Note March 5th in your diary for the launch of Idlewild's Roddy Woomble's next mega-project... following on from the heels of Idlewild's collaboration with Glaswegian poet Edwin Morgan on their last record, Roddy's put together a wider ranging record involving collaborations between Scottish poets and bands that will showcase the best of Scotland's high- and pop-cultures (there's even a T.V. tie in! Truly multimediatastic!)
With contributions from musical luminaries such as the Delgados' Alun Woodward and Emma Pollock, Aiden Smith from Arab Strap, TMS faves Sons & Daughters , Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake as well as Fife's own King Creosote, and authors such as Edwin Morgan, St Andrews' AL Kennedy, the incredible Alasdair Gray (who also provides the record cover) and Ian Rankine, this is something that is very special indeed.
Pre-order it from amazon.co.uk
