Seán Gray: The Scots Tape Kickstarter

We’re delighted to share Seán Gray’s Kickstarter for his new album, The Scots Tape!

The Scots Tape will be Seán’s second album and will be recorded to 4-track cassette tape, with the recordings captured in their purest form, without edits. All of the tracks are in the Scots language and feature songs and poems from Scotland exploring themes of the hardship of work, love and political struggle.

Seán works across a number of projects with Fèis Phàislig and is a hugely valued member of our community and tutor team. Through our YMI and ASN Introduction to Traditional Music projects, Seán visits schools across Renfrewshire throughout the year, delivering live music sessions and tin whistle workshops. This year, he also mentored two musicians as they developed their skills and gained experience delivering workshops in additional support needs schools. Seán is also our Ceilidh Trail Coordinator, planning and supporting a group of young musicians as they embark on a summer tour around the Central Belt. The Ceilidh Trail gives young musicians valuable performance experience while offering an insight into life as a professional musician.

Seán is looking for support to help complete the album, with funds raised through the Kickstarter going towards mastering and promotion, as well as printing CDs and cassette tapes – all important parts of bringing an album from recording to release.
