Norman Willmore & Corrie Dick with Hannah Read

In a daring blend of old and new, Shetland Islands native Norman and Glasgow’s Corrie are reimagining traditional Shetland music with their latest project, Twa Double Doubles. This album dives into the rich musical heritage of the Shetland Islands.

Norman and Corrie bring a fresh perspective to these age-old melodies. The pair are immersed in the jazz and contemporary music scene, Corrie performing with Dinosaur and Jacob Collier, and Norman working with The Peatbog Faeries and Corto.Alto. Their set-up combines a drum kit, saxophone, and organ foot pedals with cutting-edge electronics, producing a vibrant sound that pays homage to the past while forging new paths.

To accompany the album will be the premier of a film by burgeoning Scottish film-maker Douglas Tyrrell-Bunge. Which not only documents the making of the album but also dramatizes some of the folklore from Shetland and also the stories of the melodies themselves.
