MÀIRI MORRISON & ALASDAIR ROBERTS PREP UK TOUR AND RELEASE NEW VIDEO

posted September 16th, 2025

Alasdair Roberts and Scottish Gaelic singer Màiri Morrison have joined with Pete Johnston and his Canadian all-star band for their new collaborative LP. Remembered in Exile: Songs and Ballads from Nova Scotia is a collection of newly crafted arrangements of traditional songs of Scottish origin from Nova Scotia, pulled from the pioneering work of folklorist Helen Creighton (1899-1989).

Next month, Màiri, Alasdair and Pete will hit the road for a run of very special and intimate shows, performing these songs on the isles of their origin!

In celebration, they share a video for an all-new acoustic version of "The Bonny House of Airlie" here.  Tenderly revelling in the spirit of its original composition, Màiri and Ali draw from Helen's songbooks of collected Gaelic songs and Scots ballads that crossed the water to take root in the new world as Nova Scotian song.

Remembered in Exile: Songs and Ballads from Nova Scotia is out now, tour dates below!
