Eilidh Grant January 20, 2009

Today I met up with Eilidh Grant, who is releasing her new album, Masks & Smiles on Monday 26th Jan. according to Eilidh, the album is 10 years in the making!

In fact, the album has taken 18 months to complete. It’s well worth either wait.

There’s a wide ranging seletion of writers here, from Billy Connolly (I Wish I Was In Glasgow), Joni Mitchell, Richard Thompson, her brother Stephen Grant and the self-penned, Nothing to You. The latter has a great Latin/Spanish rhythm.

Eilidh herself was a delight to gab to. Infact, having turned off the recorder, we chatted for another 45 mins. Apparently you can set the world to rights without alcohol!
