I stumbled across a recording of a weather report from the Burns’ Day storm of 1990 during which more than ninety people lost their lives. It inspired me to make this latest Deep Folk Mixtape. I chose songs and field recordings that all deal with winter and the Christmas season - a period of reflection and loss but also coming together and regeneration.
