That's My Jam #60 - Lidh - Murmur


With a voice that can pierce through the dull monotony, Eilidh Lawrence; better known to you and me as Lidh; puts it to good use on latest single Murmur.

Murmur  takes heed from the woozy ethereal music of Cocteau Twins, almost dream like at times as guitars and mandolin lap against the listeners ear.  Lawrence's vocals are just as delightful; a clear folk grounding but drifting off into dream-pop regions during the choral sections. 

"You'd have to mumble, or murmur, to fill the air" sings Lawrence.  The vocals may be a murmur, but the track has an instant connection, leaving you humming long after the three and a half minutes are up.  Grab a free download via Lidh's Bandcamp page.

Scottish Fiction Podcast - 4th September 2013


I'm baaaaaaack!  Did you miss me?  Didn't think so.  A HUGE thanks to Chris Murray for covering things whilst I was away.  There was really only one way to get back into the swing of things and that was to dive in with another live guest. 

Kevin Harper, former front-man of Little Eskimos, released his brilliant album Kingdom Of Wires in March this year, and it was our delight to have him join me in the Pulse 98.4 studio.  During the session we find out the real origins of Kevin Harper, and discuss the wealth of musical talent that exists in Scotland.  We also cram in new music from Lidh, Blood Relatives, Campfires In Winter and much more!

Scottish Fiction Podcast - 10th July 2013


There's dedication, and then there's dedication.  Driving just shy of 90 miles from Anstruther to Barrhead, to do a live radio session in a ridiculous warm radio studio shows Eilidh Rose a.k.a. 18 year old singer songwriter Lidh has the latter.  Crafter of fuzz folk tunes and inspired by the musical heritage that lives and breathes in Anstruther, she is also the owner of a fabulous voice and a penchant for writing cutesy lyrics.  Fulfilling the usual 'session guest' duties, Lidh picked some music, chatted, and treated us to three live tracks, all of which you can revisit right here.

Bookending the show are tracks from CHVRCHES and Machines In Heaven, just two of the acts that played T in the Park last weekend.  I go through some of the picks of the festival, with a unashamedly heavy slant on the T-Break stage.  There's plenty to enjoy!


CHVRCHES - Gun

David Bowie - Heroes - As chosen by Lidh

Lidh - Rockpool Hospital - Live in Pulse 98.4 FM Studio

Harry Nilsson - Me And My Arrow - As chosen by Lidh

Lidh - Peace Now - Live in Pulse 98.4 FM Studio

Throwing Muses - Counting Backwards - As chosen by Lidh

Lidh - Murmur - Live in Pulse 98.4 FM Studio
