“Vividly expressive and evocative. . . a wonderfully
engaging, absorbing illumination of past lives and family ties” (Scotsman)
In 2013, Orkney fiddler and photographer Louise Bichan embarked on a unique
musical and sentimental journey, between her native northern isles and
coast-to-coast Canada, in the footsteps of her late paternal grandmother
Margaret, née Tait (1925-2008). The result - originally premièred at Orkney
Folk Festival in 2015, and now captured as an album - is Out of My Own Light, a
suite of beautifully wrought, brilliantly captivating chamber-folk
compositions, inspired by Bichan’s travels and wider family recollections,
together with Margaret’s own diaries and correspondence.
“I’m so darned restless and unhappy these days just can’t make a decision
one way or another. If only I could get right away for a while I’m sure it
would help. I’ll never get out of my own light while I continue here.”
Margaret S Tait, 1950
