Last month we interviewed Jamie Lockhart of Mi Mye about his latest project ‘A Romantic Destination’ which saw him reimagining music from a book of songs that has been passed down by his family in Skerray in the Highlands for 166 years and then performing them at a special event in Wakefield with just his voice and a fiddle (read the interview here).
A lot of the songs I write for my band Mi Mye are inspired by the tradition of storytelling in the north coast of Scotland where I grew up surrounded by some great storytellers.
Jamie performed A Romantic Destination at the Long Division festival on 30th May at the Theatre Royal Wakefield, he was accompanied by Morgan Evans on piano. Watch him performing The 12, Second Song and The Piano Is The Centrepoint from that premiere event below.
