Hello Society,
I’m delighted to have just signed a new record deal with Xtra Mile Recordings. They are a family as much as a label and are very well named! I’m really pleased to continue what is now the longest creative partnership of my career. I’m sitting here in my studio cabin in the woods with a load of songs and I’m about to press record. If I crack the door I can almost hear the ocean, so I’ll see what washes back… ‘Loss’ was in some ways about the place of people in communities, local Vs global. So – 20 years on… I’m excited to discover where ‘Meltwater’ takes me.

Looking forward to hopefully seeing some of you at the ‘Loss’ anniversary show at Celtic Connections on Sat 22nd January, I’ve got a bit of swotting ahead… all being well there will be more of these to come elsewhere in 2022. Also announcing MHS will be performing in London with a 100-piece Pop-Up Orchestra Show at EartH Hackney on Sunday March 13th — fancy being part of the orchestra?? (details below!)

In these times I’d also like to wish everyone a safe, healthy and happy Christmas and New Year. There’s something a little (let’s do it) “Mull-ed“… for Xmas further below.

– Colin
