Evelyn Laurie & Neil Thomson

Description

“Silver Threads” celebrates the rich and colourful heritage and people of Paisley, from witches to stitches to riches! A musical collaboration between Paisley “buddies”, Evelyn Laurie and Neil Thomson, the collection of 12 tracks features both original music and songs plus traditional works by Robert Tannahill (Braes of Gleniffer), Danny Kyle (Music of the Loom) and Hugh MacDonald (Bonny Wee Well). Successful artists in their own right, and each boasting impressive discographies, this unique production combines the jazz-influenced sound from Evelyn with Neil’s more traditional folk-oriented background to create an album which showcases both Neil’s dazzling composition and multi-intrumentalism and Evelyn’s captivating vocals and melodic story-telling.
