A few weeks back, thanks to an introduction by Tim Pearce, I met up with Zoe Hayter, a great Anglo-Czech singer-songwriter, who is partially based not far from us in France. We set ourselves the challenge to meet up for the first time and get a set together in a day and a half for a couple of gigs. Not only did we succeed in doing so, and played a lovely couple of shows in The Escale in Saint-Bouize and Com Chez Nous in La Ville de La Charité-sur-Loire, but we also managed to record a new song of hers, Buckets of Love, which she has now released on all the platforms. Check it out

Check it outA few weeks ago, after spending a truly heart warming, precious and inspiring time with my grandma Freddie from the Footsbarn Travelling Theatre, I wrote a song for her. As every message she leaves me ends with her writing ‘buckets of love’.
Three days later I met the wonderful Mark Mulholland, entering another adventure. Between our gigs in two stunning French villages we sat down in his studio and recorded the song as fresh and real as it can be. And here it is now.
Huge thank you to Mark for giving this song the life it was meant to have.
Buckets of Love to Freddie and you all ❤️

About

Read full biography

Mark Mulholland is a travelling singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer, whose musical peregrinations have taken him from his native Scotland through most of Europe and North America, via Haiti and Mali, where he lived for several years, and now to France.

The journalist Adam Jenkins, in his review of the 2022 album “Revolutions go in Circles” for the UK magazine Fatea, said “Mark Mulholland is a restless force of nature. I see him like an inverted lightning conductor, plant him somewhere, anywhere, and music flows out of the ground through him and out into the world. Occasionally a musician like Mulholland comes along who appears driven to create and record music that is both globally connective and an immediate response to his surroundings and musical companions.”

Exchange, exploration and the magic of shared experiences, in music and in life, are common threads running through Mark Mulholland’s career.

From playing in psychedelic bands in Edinburgh to busking in the streets of Europe, forming bands in the West of Ireland and swapping songs with other songwriters in the febrile atmosphere of Prague after the Velvet Revolution, hosting a legendary open-mic session for several years in a concert venue he helped found in Berlin in the 90’s, epic tours criss-crossing Europe and North America with the country-folk troubadours Two Dollar Bash, recording with Nikki Sudden and Captain Sensible, collaborations in Port-au-Prince with Haitian polymath and living national treasure Frankétienne and the stunning afro-beat/voodoo/electronic/psychedelia project The Afro Haitian Experimental Orchestra, featuring afrobeat legend Tony Allen and many of Haiti’s most talented musicians, creating and running a festival in Bamako with kora maestro Toumani Diabate, blending Mandingue and Celtic traditions in Alba Griot Ensemble‘s exquisite album “The Darkness Between the Leaves”, fusing pop-rock with the sublime voice of griot singer Kankou Kouyate to create an album chosen as the best record of the year of any genre by the Danish newspaper Globalnyt, production work with Afel Bocoum, Damon Albarn, Rachid Taha, Wesli and touareg rockers Tamikrest amongst others, collaborating with Mozambican legend Chico Antonio in Maputo…the list goes on.
