Air Iomall by Charlie Grey and Joseph Peach
In August 2018, we set sail aboard the Dutch tall ship Wylde Swan, intending to visit five uninhabited islands on Scotland's West Coast: The Shiant Isles, North Rona, The Flannan Isles, Sula Sgeir and St Kilda.
“Air Iomall” translates from Gaelic as “On the Edge”.
These magical places felt like they truly were on the edge of the world.
This voyage was a once in a lifetime insight into these places and their histories, which resulted in this music and the accompanying film.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we loved making it.
The project was supported by Help Musicians UK, and the National Lottery through Creative Scotland
