Mac Ìle, Son of Islay
A dear friend and fantastic composer has been remembered in both a tune book and cd
released by the Fraser Shaw Trust
(a charity set up to fund youth music and multiple sclerosis research)
We are all very proud of the music he created. The music we arranged, recorded and notated will hopefully crystallise his legacy and keep music alive in the hearts of all who witness it.
“There’s this thing he does”
There’s this thing he does
Where he gets people
to come together
He probably thought
they gathered to see each other
but they came
because of him
I’d be surprised if you don’t
know him or
at least know of him
they call him Seathach

That thing he does
He’s doing it now
Unable to move, get up
Use a phone or get in touch
And still people come together
As I sit in a hospital corridor
Like I’m waiting on a bus
The door of the Port Charlotte
opens and closes
There’s a session inside
And it’s all because of him
That thing he does
