Listen "Clare Stewart - APOLLO5"
Episode Synopsis
For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to musician Clare Stewart who is a founding member, and artistic director, of the vocal ensemble APOLLO5 to talk about their new album 'Anam'.
'Anam' means 'soul' in Gaelic, and Clare talks about the strong Celtic theme which underpins the album, which features new arrangements of folk songs, pagan texts, poetry, brand new commissions inspired by Scottish and Irish musical traditions, and traditional instruments which include the Uilleann pipes.
Clare also talks about the band more generally, collaborating with others, her own musical background and influences, and the healthy state of Scottish music today. It's an interesting and insightful conversation which should whet you're appetite for 'Anam' and all things APOLLO5.
