Three years on from the widely praised Revolutions Go In Circles, Scottish songwriter Mark Mulholland returns with a brand new album, Fighting With Your Shadow, to be released on Ports of Call Music on May 2nd. He is doing a tour of Scotland and Ireland to coincide with the release, accompanied by the drummer and percussionist Stéphane Doucerain, and other musician friends who will join them at various of the gigs. The tour dates are on the flyer.

As a roots musicians go, Mark Mulholland has a CV that’s the envy of most. From playing in psychedelic bands in Edinburgh to busking in the streets of Europe, forming bands in the West of Ireland and song-swapping in Prague to running open-mic nights in Berlin and criss-crossing Europe and North America with the country-folk troubadours Two Dollar Bash. Recording with Nikki Sudden and Captain Sensible, he wound up in Port-au-Prince collaborating with Haitian polymath Frankétienne and legendary Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen, before heading to Mali with work with kora maestro Toumani Diabate and griot singer Kankou Kouyate. Add into that work with Damon Albarn, Rachid Taha, Kid Loco and Touareg rockers Tamikrest and you’ve got one hell of a resumé.

Recorded at various locations in Paris and Berlin, Fighting With Your Shadow finds Mulholland, recently having re-emerged from pandemic isolation, calling in favours and rekindling various friendships from the past four decades on eleven songs of reflective country-folk and breezy life-affirming roots-rock, each with a tale to tell and as a whole, a testament to the value of friendship.

Praise for Revolutions Go In Circles…

"An inspired artist who has successfully embraced country, folk, jazz, reggae, Afrobeat and pop” RnR
“Inspired, stunning, utterly cosmic world blues” Fatea
“Quite wonderful and sounds effortless. Magical.” (9*/10*), Whisperin' & Hollerin'
“A pearl of a project, exquisite.” At the Barrier
“It dances between the styles while sustaining a distinctive core character that makes you want to play it one revolution after another….”Folking.com
“It is world music, but also blues, jazz, calypso, rock and alto-punk-folk… Well worth checking out.” International Times

Im heading off on a short tour of Ireland and Scotland with Stéphane Doucerain accompanying me on drums / percussion, and were catching up with lots of old friends who will be joining us for some of the gigs along the way. It should be a blast, so come down and see us if youre in the vicinity of any of the shows.

The chorus to this one is a combination of quotes from two of the most positive people I know, my cousin Gráinne and my father. I asked Gráinne, who recently moved back to her hometown after many years away, how she was adapting, and her answer was “Wherever I am is the best place I could possibly be”. Around the same time, someone asked my dad, then aged 83, “What was the best period of your life?”, to which he replied, “The best period of my life is always now”. I was musing on these two comments one morning in Tunisia, looking out the window and taking in the sounds of another new town, and the song wrote itself.
