The New Harp Ref: A0266
William Jackson
The New Harp wears its harp on its sleeve, depicting an example of the instrument and its exponent: and sure enough, it's renowned William Jackson, now a rather magisterial figure to those who remember him as young Billy Jackson of Ossian, and of the wistfully evocative suite devoted to Tennents' Brewery, plus a thousand other stages. This collection celebrates a variety of topics - and indeed, locales - from Dunadd, ancient capital of Dalriada, to Donegal, North Carolina and France Scots Magazine, 'Listen to This' August 2008

Scottish Island Ref: A0261
William Jackson
Ships' bows ploughing noisily through foaming seas-sails pulling against straining and creaking ropes-waves falling gently on silver sands or ocean rollers crashing against rugged towering cliffs-the cry of the guillemot-or the gannet-or the black-headed gull as they swoop and soar. William Jackson's A Scottish Island evokes all of these sounds and creates vivid mental pictures, sometimes within the memory, sometimes within the imagination.

Duan Àlbanach Ref: A0265
William Jackson
"William Jackson’s earlier extended compositions are well known...The Wellpark Suite and St Mungo Suite and Inchcolm. This latest offering centres on a setting of the Scottish poem Duan Albanach and is brought up to CD length by a number of shorter individual pieces. This is very pleasant, tuneful and in places, quite memorable music." Alan Murray, The Living Tradition, November 2003

Sheet Music

Traditional Scottish Music Ref: SM109
arr. William Jackson
One of the main reasons it has taken me so long to get this book done is that I have no fixed arrangements in my head. In traditional music, the written music is only a guide, and is open to individual interpretation. Generally when I play live, I vary the arrangement. I have the basic tune in my head and I add the accompaniment and ornamentation as I go along. I am always looking for new inspiration for performance, to keep the music fresh and interesting. Performances with other musicians, of course, require a more fixed approach. I listen to Gaelic singing, piping and fiddling, for inspiration in ornamentation. Also it is useful to listen to some of the current guitarists with Celtic bands to pick up ideas for chord progressions and rhythms.
