All Back To Mine with King Creosote
Manage episode 448510249 series 3604042
It's the second of our monthly 'A Kick Up The Arts: All Back To Mine' specials, with fab guests giving us a virtual night in round at theirs: choosing a Scottish album to play us, a Scottish film to show us, and a Scottish book for some bed time reading, and they'll chat about all of that - and their own work - with Nicola Meighan. They might even chuck in a snack or two.
This time, it's courtesy of a swashbuckling, accordion wielding, heartbreaking pop voyager all the way from Fife…
His albums include his possible epitaph, I, Des - with musical sidekick Des Lawson - and Diamond Mine, in cahoots with Jon Hopkins; and From Scotland With Love; not to mention another few hundred records, including the 2014 live album that we were allowed to bootleg, called My Nth Bit Of Strange…
He’s Kenny Anderson, aka King Creosote, and we recorded this at Anstruther’s Dreel Halls, in Kenny’s native East Neuk of Fife, where he’s cast a DIY spell as KC, and via the Fence Collective, for 30 years…
He’s been joined by pals like HMS Ginafore, Gummi Bako, and Kenny’s younger twin brothers, Pip Dylan and the Lone Pigeon, whose exploits include the Aliens and the Beta Band… His dad’s a ceilidh legend too, but I’ll let Kenny tell you all about that…
For now - Kenny’s put the kettle on, and he’s taking us back to his coastal digs to play us some music, and a movie - and to read us a story, for one night only…
