This tune was partially written on the last day of a project inside a Scottish prison. The title comes from one of the lines from the drama production we were working on. The arts are an incredible vehicle for change and should be introduced to prisons more often. Kudos to Rachel Drury and Jess Thorpe from RCS for running such a great module.

It's Sadder Than That - Calum McIlroy
Arranged by C.R. McIlroy, M. MacDonald and R. Gollan
One of my biggest inspirations - Mike Vass, and in particular this album, Decemberwell. This album pushed me to write my own tunes and made me re-evaluate what 'folk music' can be. Calum McIlroy
One of my many influences as a guitar player. Ian's unique approach to accompaniment, tune writing, and arrangement has inspired me to no end. Calum McIlroy

Great Scottish band! The addition of guests like Duncan Chisholm-fiddler extraordinaire- and Julie Fowlis-an authentic voice of Scotland- make it perfect. dardar1126
