Bringing his worlds of words and music together, Colin MacIntyre?s (aka Mull Historical Society) brand new album ?In My Mind There?s A Room? features an all-star cast of literary giants who have penned words about a special room that plays or has played a significant part in their lives. Using these words as the lyrics, Colin has then written the musical arrangements to create a 14 track album of personal and thoughtful songs. Featured authors include Ian Rankin, Nick Hornby, Jacqueline Wilson and Liz Lochhead plus many more.
Recorded, fittingly, in a room that means a lot to Colin ? his grandfather?s flat above the bank in Tobermory, Mull which has now been turned into a recording studio.
The album is released on CD, vinyl and digital on 21st July 2023 on Xtra Mile Recordings. Mull Historical Society will be performing at this year?s Hay Festival, Borders Festival and headline shows throughout the year.
*Release Timeline:
Track 1 ? ?1952? ? released as a single on 9th June 2023 alongside announce of the album
?1952' is MacIntyre?s collaboration with arguably Scotland?s greatest living and most celebrated poet, Liz Lochhead. Lochhead has been the distinctive female voice of Scotland for many years, was the second Makar ? Scotland's Poet Laureate ? and has been publishing her work for six decades. She is a recipient of the Queen?s Gold Medal for Poetry. In ?1952? Lochhead writes for the first time about her very first room of her own that she moved into that year of the Coronation (resonating with the events of today) when she was four ? living there until she was 18, when she left home for Glasgow School of Art in the Swinging 60?s. The song reflects her childhood reflections of this first room of her own, her fascination with books and seeing the world ?upside down?, and name-checks authors such as Virginia Woolf. Says Liz ? 'This room was in the first home of their own my parents got after eight years of marriage and staying in their parents' homes in overcrowded council houses in Lanarkshire. I slept in a cot with bars at the end of their bed till then, when I was four? And then this room of my own, a double bed and a whole new world emerged. It?s quite a visual thing, quite a rhyming thing.? Lochhead also appears on the album with ?Anaglypta?, on which she recites these memories in greater detail in her own distinctive voice, to the accompaniment of MacIntyre on piano.
Says MacIntyre: 'It has been a great creative experience and challenge to work with all the authors original words and their ?rooms', and I was delighted to have Liz on board. I heard her on Desert Island Discs and was so moved about how she talked of her parents and her upbringing in the mining community. So it is a thrill to have her on the record ? twice! One being on the more upbeat ?1952? ? from her contribution originally titled ?A Room of My Own? ? and then in the spoken word of ?Anaglypta?, which she recited in my significant ?room? in Tobermory, in the room wher
