Shore Crab was originally released in 2005 and included recordings of poems written by Gerry Cambridge titled Madam Fi Fi’s Farewell, Shorecrab and Thought of Snow. Since this time Neil has set music to further poems written by Gerry and they decided to reissue Shore crab to to include the new compositions. Two original recordings from the 2005 release remain; Madam Fi Fi’s Farewell and Thought of Snow. Four new recordings are included; Fallen Maple Leaves, Snawdraps and Gem Anemone from Gerry’s 1999 book of poems, Nothing but Heather! and Minister of Air from his 2003 publication Madam Fi Fi’s Farewell and other poems. In addition Shore Crab has been re-recorded for the new release and The Nature of Burns from Nothing but Heather! originally featuring on Neil's 2001 release, Common Ground, has been included to finally bring together a unique collection of Gerry’s delightful poems set to music. Mind o Shug the Claw! 'Snawdraps' written in old Scots by Gerry Cambridge and set to music by Neil Thomson has become a joint winner of the Hands up for Trad Nòs Ùr competition. Live concert review: Glasgow Herald Celtic Connections festival Britannia, Panopticon Music hall. “No such hostile responses for either of the sets in last night’s programme. Gerry Cambridge (moothie) and Neil Thomson ( vocals/guitar), offered up an opening selection of gentle, often whimsical songs that occasionally jigged about but most often harked back to poetic reflections ( some of them penned by Cambridge ). His The Thought of Snow - with music by Thomson - had a curlicue of Incredible String Band-ishness to it that was utterly engaging, while adoggoneditty about canines, Banjo Blues, was witty’n’nifty enough to make cat-lovers howl in appreciation”.
