A Coatbridge musician is preparing for the release of her debut album, inspired by the life story and memory of her late grandmother.
Sarah Markey performs on flute, harp and vocals on “cheerful and adventurous” 10-track album Leaving Lurgangreen, which will be released on CD and as a digital download this Friday, May 6.
It features a mixture of her original compositions alongside traditional music from Scotland, Ireland and Spain, in a musical journey which “draws on themes of heritage, immigration and friendship”.
