Haborlite Music: Iain Morrison

Hebridean born singer / songwriter / piper Iain Morrison has a refreshing, idiosyncratic approach to music. With an ear for melody and a heart for pushing the boundaries Iain takes his traditional island upbringing and makes it his own, culminating in the release of his acclaimed debut album 'Empty Beer Bottles & Peatfire Smoke'.

'His softly - sung narratives have a deceptive potency and his ability to spin songs and tunes together added to an atmosphere captured perfectly by his album title, empty beer bottles and peatfire smoke - turning the venue into an Island Bothy. While names such as Nick Drake have been used to describe the hushed singing style on Empty Beer Bottles, there's also something of the canntaireachd in Morrisons delivery'..... 'the Herald'

'It's all thoughtful, enjoyable and oddly affecting'....'froots magazine’
