COLIN SIGNS NEW RECORD DEAL!

“Hello all, just lifting my head up from writing new music & books… to share I’m very excited to announce I’ve signed to Last Night From Glasgow — there’s a freshness to the groundbreaking work Ian Smith and the team do at the label and I’ve admired their ethos for some time — it feels like a good fit and also a bit like bringing it all back home for me too. The nod to ABBA is just a bonus. My new MHS album – the second in my author’s collaborative series – will be ‘In My Mind There’s A Photograph’ with 12 more amazing, leading authors playing “Bernie to my Elton” and it’s coming on LNFG early 2026!”

— Colin MacIntyre/Mull Historical Society

“As a fan of Mull Historical Society for as long as Mull Historical Society have existed, it is an incredible source of pride to know we will be releasing the next Mull Historical Society album …. can you tell I like saying Mull Historical Society?”

— Ian Smith, Managing Director, LNFG
