Travelling to the UK’s most remote inhabited island

In the field for research and planning

Fog halts planes - Daniel and Roderick decide to brave an epic sea journey from West Burrafirth to join us on Fair Isle

Fog makes perfect conditions for field recordings of the island sounds

Loop station masterclass, and sculpting with found objects on the beach

Children compose live on musicians, and the entire island community plus visitors gathers in the hall for our concert, after which we go to ring the Storm Petrels at the Bird Observatory.

Improvising with the children on the beach and an all-comers al fresco bird sculpting workshop

travelling scuppered by weather but glad of more time with this wonderful community of Fair Isle folk
