about this album

‘DecemberWell’ is the eclectic new album from Glasgow based musician and composer Mike Vass. Vass is best known for his Celtic Connections New Voices commission and subsequent solo recording String Theory which debuted in 2010 to much critical acclaim. For several years an integral part of renowned Scots Song quintet Malinky (Scots Trad Music Award folk band of the year 2010), he is a now a highly sought after song accompanist. More recently Mike has been garnering a reputation as one of Scotland's foremost tunesmiths. In 2008, he was the winner of the inaugural Niel Gow International Composition award with 'Cavers of Kirkcudbright'. This lead to the release of his first recording 'String Theory', an all original suite of music featuring some of Scotland's finest instrumental talent, including Anna Massie (Blazin' Fiddles, Bella Hardy, Unusual Suspects) Calum MacCrimmon (Breabach, Man's Ruin) and Megan Henderson (Salsa Celtica, Kris Drever trio) His Compositions have since been used in the recordings and performances of such luminaries of the UK folk and roots scene as Corrina Hewat (Unusual Suspects) and Brian Finnegan (Flook, Kan) This December sees the release of his second solo record 'DecemberWell'. DecemberWell was conceived during one sleepless night in October 2011, and culminated in the recording of Vass's most ambitious project to date. Vass set out to write and record a full length album in one month, December2011, inspired by the Scottish Winter. ‘December has
