   About Inge Thomson
Hailing from the microscopic, isolated Shetland island of Fair Isle, Inge Thomson grew up in an enormous world of music. Her family are prominent exponents of folk and traditional music and she became involved with a piano keyed accordion at an early age, which eventually led on to even less socially acceptable instruments. Inge cut her gigging teeth with folk-pop quintet ‘Drop The Box’ who toured steadily through the 1990s. More recently she toured and recorded with contempo/trad band ‘Harem Scarem’ winning critical acclaim for her songwriting and vocal prowess. A recent collaboration with Will “Bonnie Prince Billy” Oldham cumulated in an album which received 5 stars in both ‘Mojo’ and ‘Uncut’ magazines. Currently Inge brings her innovative vocal harmonies and multi-instrumental textures to the Karine Polwart Trio. Inge’s first solo venture, Shipwrecks & Static, is an eccentric marriage between melodic instruments and the bleeps and squeaks of electronic tomfoolery. Inge wrote, recorded and produced the bulk of the album and is joined here by the angelic voice of Heidi Talbot, the edgy guitars of Brighton based Tom Cook and a cameo appearance of Martin Green of award winning diddle-superstars Lau.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Wooowy Inge dear, I spotted John last nite and add it to MS playlist immediately! A cracker - Inge goes sympho/prog !! Great stuff!!!
Can't wait to hear more. Hope life is treating you well. 
I've started singing and playing in public too, and it seems that people like it for some reason. 
Big hugs to you and da boyz! Hope to see you soon sometime.

p.s. Was about to come to Edinburgh at the end of October (storytelling fest - i've started to collect and translate Scottish stories into Slovenian) but no money, so will have to wait for April when I'm over for Shetland's bash.

Hi Inge,

How are you, Mrs Lovely?  When I saw Martin last week, he tried to burn me a copy of your new album. Sadly, only the first five and a half tracks copied, but happily they were all brilliant! I may start a fan club.

But first, I'd love to hear the album in its entirety. Any way you can make that happen?

I hope you're coming south some time soon. Sanna and I both miss you and Ewen, (but not so much Martin, whose frequent visits are becoming somewhat tiresome).

Lots of love, Barn xxx

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market, 
With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe; 
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
You go walkabout with your pen.” 

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago, 
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
