Màiri Morrison and Alasdair Roberts celebrate their new Drag City album Remembered In Exile: Songs And Ballads From Nova Scotia. Drawing on the pioneering work of Nova Scotian folklorist Helen Creighton (1899-1989), who collected traditional songs on Canada’s eastern seaboard, it features ten songs with Scottish roots: musical artefacts of the westward journey undertaken by Scots as they migrated to Canada from the 1600s to the mid-1800s. A native of the Isle of Lewis, Màiri takes the lead on a handful of Gaelic language songs, mostly collected in Cape Breton, while Alasdair leads on some Canadian variants of the types of Scots ballads for which he has become well-known. The duo will be accompanied on tour by their producer and musical arranger Pete Johnston on double bass.
