Koterana Album Launch
"Iain Fraser was inspired by the story which he first came across at the Waipu Scottish Migration Museum in the North Island, NZ and subsequently wrote music aiming to capture the sense of place evoked by each of the main communities McLeod and his congregation, lived in.
The resulting album involves 18 musicians, some of whom are based in Canada and in New Zealand. Most of the music is newly composed but some older Gaelic, Cape Breton and New Zealand tunes are also included. This community was Gaelic speaking and the town of Waipu still had native (learned from their parents) Gaelic speakers as recently as a generation ago. The piece was first performed in Waipu by the Auckland Scottish Fiddle Club and friends in 2016 which coincided with the 150th anniversary of McLeod’s death but thanks to Creative Scotland support, an album of the music will now be available for the first time.
As part of the launch audience, you will be able to purchase the CD, including a digital download voucher, at the special launch price of £5."
