Calum MacDonald is an alternate / folk musician who has performed widely solo as well as in collaboration with other artists over several years. The line ups have changed, the names haven’t always been the same but MacDonald's writing has continued, developing into the story telling melodic tunes they are today. His songs are about love, anger and regret. They contain stories of social awareness, of happiness, of pain, of the journeys that are shared by us all. Growing up MacDonald was surrounded by an abundance of sounds. Recordings of Scottish traditional music, English folk, jazz and pop, everything from the big bands to trad jazz combos were being played. Today his music is more akin to the contemporary folk, underground, alternate sounds of artists such as Bonnie Prince Billy, Bill Callaghan and Ron Sexsmith.
