Exciting news! This Friday sees the launch of a new composition and video from a project worked on over the past year, marking the 50th anniversary of the sinking of 'The Sugar Boat'
It's been great to work along with drone videographer Gordon Russell (of Angus & Amelia Photography) and to have members of the Helensburgh Clan Colquhoun Pipe Band on the recording.
Thanks to everyone who has helped this little idea of mine become a reality!
Please join us to watch the video when it launches at 7pm this Friday, 28th February here: https://tinyurl.com/sugarboat
You can read all about this project at: www.eilidhsteel.com/thesugarboat
For any musicians that would like to learn the tune, the sheet music will be available to download from my website and there will also be a video which you can learn the tune from, taught phrase by phrase by ear.
The Sugar Boat video and sheet music will also be getting sent out to local schools on both sides of the Clyde. Any schools or organisations that are interested in organising a visit or music workshop please get in touch.
