Last year I was lucky enough to take part in a collaborative project with 8 other Scottish Artists as part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival. Myself, Rod Jones (Idlewild), Scott Hutchinson (Frightened Rabbit), Jenny Reeve (Strike the Colours), Emma Pollock (Delgados), James Graham (Twilight Sad), Karine Polwart, James Yorkston and Alasdair Roberts spent a snowy week in a house in Perth and wrote an album titled “Fruit Tree Foundation-First Edition’.  We originally performed the songs in two shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh later in the year, where a limited amount of the albums were available for purchase, but now Chemikal Underground Records have awesomely agreed to release it to the wider public. It is now available to buy here and you can download two free tracks from the Fruit Tree Foundation website here.

You can read more about the conception of the Fruit Tree Foundation here. Hope you can pick up a copy, 50% of the profits will go directly to the Mental Health Foundation.

Cheers,

Jill
