Da Fishing Hands is a resounding creative success on a number of levels. Inge Thomson and her collaborators have painted a vivid picture of a changed and changing community. It’s as much an important historical document as it is a powerful artistic statement and, above all, a mesmerisingly beautiful record with top class musicians including Sarah Hayes, Fraser Fifield, Steven Polwart and Graeme Smillie.

We talk to Inge Thomson about her new Project ‘Da Fishing Hands’ which she began with Fair Isle singer-songwriter, musician and poet Lise Sinclair who passed away last year.
