MULL HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Following on from the critical and commercial success of the previous record, "In My Mind There's A Room" album, Colin MacIntyre AKA Mull Historical Society will return this year with another literary inspired marvel.

This brand new collection of songs (his 10th) will feature lyrical contributions from a panoply of world-leading authors, all of whom were asked to reflect on a single significant photo to them. Amongst the collaborators on "In My Mind There's A Photograph" are best-sellers, Pulitzer, Booker, Costa, Women's Prize & Saltire Award-winners, including: Irvine Welsh, Ali Smith, Len Pennie, Jehan Bseiso, Louise Welsh, Irenosen Okojie, Paul Lynch, Colum McCann, Yiyun Lee, Alan Johnson, Dan Richards and Sir Alexander McCall Smith.

With Colin playing the "'Elton to their Bernie', coupling his musical idiosyncrasies to their affecting words, together they have created 12 songs of vivid photographic realisation and a very real emotional resonance. The first of these collaborations - "Cattle Bells" - which features words from Sir Alexander McCall Smith, acclaimed author of the "No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series among countless other feats.
