Two years ago Fraser Shaw passed away, but his memory and his music live on, in particular through the Islay Sessions and the Fraser Shaw Trust. In the Fraser Shaw Trust Fraser’s family and friends have worked to finish a song book of Fraser’s compositions and record them. Both will be published this year, the proceeds will be used to support Multiple Sclerosis help organisations and activities in Argyll.
I don’t know if these were his own tunes or someone else’s, here are some memories of Fraser playing together with other musicians at the Port Charlotte Hotel during the Islay Sessions 2012:
But back to the future, in particular the upcoming CD launch. Three events are coming up over the next few weeks and months:
- 16/May/2017 in Glasgow: Pre-Launch for Mac Ìle – The Music of Fraser Shaw – Glasgow (The Sparkle Horse)
- 27/Jun/2017 on Islay: Mac Ìle – The Music of Fraser Shaw – Islay CD Launch Party (Bruichladdich Hall)
- 07/Aug/2017 in Glasgow: Mac Ìle – The Music of Fraser Shaw – Glasgow CD Launch Party (St Luke’s)
