Put out ahead of the opening tie of the European Championships (Euros) against host nation, Germany on 14th June at the Allianz Arena, Munich, home of the legendary Bayern Munich.Football is in acclaimed musician & writer Colin MacIntyre’s blood, with his father, the late Kenny MacIntyre, a passionate and briefly professional player, and his brother Kenny now a football journalist for the BBC. Some of Colin’s most treasured memories from his youth are of trips down from Mull to watch Scotland at Hampden, and his dad’s playing career meant Colin even got the chance to play with some ex and current professionals -- Charlie Nicholas, Ally McCoist, Pat Nevin, Ian McCall and Davie Moyes — who all feature in the song lyrics and have also graced Mull Historical Society tournament teams in the past. Colin even spent a year training for Queens Park FC, under the robust-regime of the infamous Eddie Hunter. But in the end, after running up and down every step of the national stadium but never actually playing a game, music won out. Nine albums later, this new song has come about after Colin performed a mash-up of ‘We Have A Dream’ and ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’ live on BBC Scotland’s ‘Off The Ball’ with Tam Cowan and Stuart Cosgrove.Colin explains: “The day after I performed the mash-up on BBC Radio Scotland, I was appearing at the Bloody Scotland festival and on the way home I couldn’t stop myself penning some new lyrics, to encompass the legends of Scotland Teams’ old, alongside those of the current team. In my mind I imagined them all on the same pitch — and so a challenge was set by Stuart & Tam and an idea born. Two of my very earliest memories, are of marvelling live at Archie Gemmill's famous goal against Holland at the World Cup in 1978, and loving BA Robertson’s hit song of the era, ‘Bang Bang’ — so it seems fitting that I’ve now been inspired by both of those in this song.”Colin’s old school even features in the track in the form of Tobermory High School Pipe Band, led by local Mull musician Callum MacLean (son of the legendary and greatly respected accordionist) and MacIntyre’s 96-year-old grandmother Mary Kirsop – a huge football fan herself – even makes an appearance on the track, last heard on the third Mull Historical Society album. Colin's cousin and godson is the young player starring in the video, with the famous Jim Baxter No.6 shirt. “It’s also the very first song I’ve recorded in my new home studio”, adds MacIntyre. “But — fittingly for a Beatles-obsessed kid — was mastered at Abbey Road Studio.” LYRICS:V1AND DALGLISH IN ’82ARCHIE GEMMEL STICKIN’ IT UP THE NETHERSMcQUEEN’S BULLET HEADERBAXTER’S WEMBLEY TURF MADE HEATHERWHEN WE GO SCOTLAND GOV2SOUNESS, MILLER, McCLEISH, HADRIANS WALLCHARLIE NICK, McCOIST, WEE NEVINMCFADDEN’S FRENCH REVOLUTIONDAVIE COOP ON THE LEFT WING IN HEAVENWHEN WE GO SCOTLAND GOWE HAVE A DREAM IF DREAMS COME TRUE THEN BONNIE SCOTLAND I’LL PLAY FOR YOUI HOPE AND PRAYTHAT IF I DO THEN BONNIE SCOTLAND!

MULL HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN MY MIND THERES A ROOM ALBUM TRAILER (OUT NOW!) Mull Historical Society 2023-07-26 | MULL HISTORICAL SOCIETYBRAND NEW ALBUM: ‘IN MY MIND THERE’S A ROOM’ OUT 21 JULY 2023 - BUY HERE: orcd.co/inmymindtheresaroomNICK HORNBY PENS LYRICS FOR: “PANICKED FEATHERS”VIDEO CREATED BY: DANIEL PADDENTwitter @danielpadden , Instagram: @kitalidesign danielpadden.comArriving as the first new material from Colin MacIntyre in five years, it will feature contributions from thirteen highly acclaimed guest authors including Ian Rankin, Jacqueline Wilson, Jennifer Clement (‘Widow Basquiat’), Booker-winning Sebastian Barry, Alan Warner, 2021 US National Book Award-winner Jason Mott, Scottish poet laureates’ Jackie Kay and Liz Lochhead (on current single “1952”), booker-shortlisted Stephen Kelman (‘Pigeon English’), legendary crime writer Val McDermid (on previous single “Room of Masks”) and Nick Hornby on “Panicked Feathers”. The album’s official artwork is by John MacLean of The Beta Band, a band who were humorously referenced in the film adaptation of Nick Hornby’s ‘High Fidelity’ (watch here). With words by the singular Nick Hornby - MULL HISTORICAL SOCIETY - is delighted to share the new single “Panicked Feathers”. On what will be his first album since 2018’s ‘Wakelines’, Colin MacIntyre’s upcoming album ‘In My Mind There’s A Room’ was written in collaboration with thirteen world-renowned authors; each of whom were asked to write about a room of special significance to them. Enlisting the talents of Nick Hornby, an author whose passion for music is well-documented across his bestselling pop-fiction classics like ‘High Fidelity’, ‘Juliet, Naked’ and ‘About A Boy’, the pair’s meeting of minds has produced the anthemic new song “Panicked Feathers”. Written by Hornby (with additional music and lyrics added by MacIntyre), the single transports the listener back to his teenage bedroom through lyrics laced with the mischief and adventure of self-discovery and coming of age. Remembering that room in “Panicked Feathers”, Nick writes:“Outside my bedroom there was a flat roof // The garage roof where cats came through // My bedroom sat at the top // And sometimes they’d bring birds dead or dying // And sometimes they would drag them in // Over my teenage face // But who knows with cats with cats? // And I learned to climb // Outside of that window // With a friend we’d smoke outside // Dangled legs in the sun on the roof // Imagining the world was smaller than us…” Aptly capturing the sense of sepia-tinted revelry that unfolds throughout the song, “Panicked Feathers” is accompanied by a nostalgic official video which is available to watch now here.“Panicked Feathers” will feature on the new Mull Historical Society album ‘In My Mind There’s A Room’, scheduled for release by Xtra Mile Recordings label on 21 July. Appearing at an array of literary festivals this summer in support of the record, Mull Historical Society will be appearing for a special show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe next month, with further confirmed dates also listed below.

PRE-SAVE HERE: orcd.co/mhs1952MULL HISTORICAL SOCIETY is back with a brand new album: ‘In My Mind There’s A Room’: PRE-ORDER: orcd.co/inmymindtheresaroomMull Historical Society is the musical project of Colin MacIntyre – the multi-award-winning musician, producer, author for adults and children, and playwright. Writing music that is often personal and steeped in the tradition of his native island, yet with an adventurous spirit and outward-reaching appeal, over the last two decades his works have resonated with audiences both in the UK and all over the world. In 2023, Mull is bringing his worlds of words and music together for the extraordinary new album ‘In My Mind There’s A Room’, Produced by MacIntyre. Across its fourteen songs, MacIntyre has enlisted an all-star cast of literary giants to contribute their own words about a special room that plays or has played a significant part in their lives. Using these words as the lyrics, Colin has then written the musical arrangements to create a 14 track album of personal and thoughtful songs. Rather fittingly, these songs were recorded in a room that holds a special place in Colin’s heart – his grandfather’s flat above the bank in Tobermory, Mull, which has since been turned into a fully-equipped recording studio. The first of these tracks to be unveiled is ‘1952', MacIntyre’s collaboration with arguably Scotland’s greatest living and most celebrated poet, Liz Lochhead, which is streaming everywhere today (9 June). Lochhead has been the distinctive female voice of Scotland for many years, was the second Makar — Scotland's Poet Laureate — and has been publishing her work for six decades. She is a recipient of the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry. In ‘1952’ Lochhead writes for the first time about her very first room of her own that she moved into that year of the Coronation (resonating with the events of today) when she was four — living there until she was 18, when she left home for Glasgow School of Art in the Swinging 60’s. The song reflects her childhood reflections of this first room of her own, her fascination with books and seeing the world ‘upside down’, and name-checks authors such as Virginia Woolf. Speaking about her memories of this room, Liz Lochhead reflects: “This room was in the first home of their own my parents got after eight years of marriage and staying in their parents' homes in overcrowded council houses in Lanarkshire. I slept in a cot with bars at the end of their bed till then, when I was four… And then this room of my own, a double bed and a whole new world emerged. It’s quite a visual thing, quite a rhyming thing.’ Of working with Lochhead on “1952” and the wider ‘...Room’ project, Colin MacIntyre adds: “It has been a great creative experience and challenge to work with all the authors’ original words and their ‘rooms', and I was delighted to have Liz on board. I heard her on Desert Island Discs and was so moved about how she talked of her parents and her upbringing in the mining community. So it is a thrill to have her on the record — twice! One being on the more upbeat ‘1952’ — from her contribution originally titled ‘A Room of My Own’ — and then in the spoken word of ‘Anaglypta’, which she recited in my significant ‘room’ in Tobermory, in the room where my poet-grandfather wrote his words. So for me it has something of the ‘full circle’ about it.” Mull Historical Society’s upcoming album ‘In My Mind There’s A Room’ is released on CD, vinyl and digital on 21st July 2023 on Xtra Mile Recordings. Produced by Colin MacIntyre.

I always admired the skill of singer/songwriters who could match lyrics with music. I tried, but it never really worked. So it was a real thrill when Colin invited me to join this project. I can always set some words down on the page; to have Colin pick out the ones that worked for song then add music that sticks in the mind has been a privilege I never expected.'Mull Historical Society’s upcoming album ‘In My Mind There’s A Room’ is released on CD, vinyl and digital on 21st July 2023 on Xtra Mile Recordings.

PRE-SAVE HERE: orcd.co/mhs1952MULL HISTORICAL SOCIETY is back with a brand new album: ‘In My Mind There’s A Room’: PRE-ORDER: orcd.co/inmymindtheresaroomMull Historical Society is the musical project of Colin MacIntyre – the multi-award-winning musician, producer, author for adults and children, and playwright. Writing music that is often personal and steeped in the tradition of his native island, yet with an adventurous spirit and outward-reaching appeal, over the last two decades his works have resonated with audiences both in the UK and all over the world. In 2023, Mull is bringing his worlds of words and music together for the extraordinary new album ‘In My Mind There’s A Room’, Produced by MacIntyre. Across its fourteen songs, MacIntyre has enlisted an all-star cast of literary giants to contribute their own words about a special room that plays or has played a significant part in their lives. Using these words as the lyrics, Colin has then written the musical arrangements to create a 14 track album of personal and thoughtful songs. Rather fittingly, these songs were recorded in a room that holds a special place in Colin’s heart – his grandfather’s flat above the bank in Tobermory, Mull, which has since been turned into a fully-equipped recording studio. The first of these tracks to be unveiled is ‘1952', MacIntyre’s collaboration with arguably Scotland’s greatest living and most celebrated poet, Liz Lochhead, which is streaming everywhere today (9 June). Lochhead has been the distinctive female voice of Scotland for many years, was the second Makar — Scotland's Poet Laureate — and has been publishing her work for six decades. She is a recipient of the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry. In ‘1952’ Lochhead writes for the first time about her very first room of her own that she moved into that year of the Coronation (resonating with the events of today) when she was four — living there until she was 18, when she left home for Glasgow School of Art in the Swinging 60’s. The song reflects her childhood reflections of this first room of her own, her fascination with books and seeing the world ‘upside down’, and name-checks authors such as Virginia Woolf. Speaking about her memories of this room, Liz Lochhead reflects: “This room was in the first home of their own my parents got after eight years of marriage and staying in their parents' homes in overcrowded council houses in Lanarkshire. I slept in a cot with bars at the end of their bed till then, when I was four… And then this room of my own, a double bed and a whole new world emerged. It’s quite a visual thing, quite a rhyming thing.’ Of working with Lochhead on “1952” and the wider ‘...Room’ project, Colin MacIntyre adds: “It has been a great creative experience and challenge to work with all the authors’ original words and their ‘rooms', and I was delighted to have Liz on board. I heard her on Desert Island Discs and was so moved about how she talked of her parents and her upbringing in the mining community. So it is a thrill to have her on the record — twice! One being on the more upbeat ‘1952’ — from her contribution originally titled ‘A Room of My Own’ — and then in the spoken word of ‘Anaglypta’, which she recited in my significant ‘room’ in Tobermory, in the room where my poet-grandfather wrote his words. So for me it has something of the ‘full circle’ about it.” Mull Historical Society’s upcoming album ‘In My Mind There’s A Room’ is released on CD, vinyl and digital on 21st July 2023 on Xtra Mile Recordings. Produced by Colin MacIntyre.

The Origins of Ivor Punch Stage Play By Colin MacIntyre (Mull Historical Society) Mull Historical Society 2022-12-02 | Written by Colin MacIntyreAdapted from his award-winning novel 'The Letters of Ivor Punch'.Based on the Edinburgh International First Book Award-winning novel ‘The Letters of Ivor Punch’ by musician and author Colin MacIntyre (Mull Historical Society).Directed By Stuart Hepburn. Cast: Tom McGovern, Andrew John Tait and Eva Traynor. Filmed at Oran Mor, Glasgow, May 2019. Produced by A Play, A Pie, A Pint, in association with The Traverse Theatre. Featuring the music of Mull Historical Society, Felix Mendelssohn and Glasgow Orpheus Choir.Set in the present day and in the 1860’s on a remote Scottish island (based on the isle of Mull), it is about mythology and how it washes up against faith. Tragedy and superstition hang over the characters like a mist as we meet the funny and irrepressible Sergeant Ivor Punch, and his friend Randy. Only by discovering the truth about Ivor’s origins do we learn why the words ‘GOD IS LOVE’ have appeared painted on a cliff face, why his forbear is a Headless Horseman doing battle with a visiting Charles Darwin, and how the pioneering Victorian travel writer, Isabella Bird, and her sister, Henrietta, link the past to the present. The island is about to give up its secrets.Presented in association with the Traverse Theatre.http://www.colinmacintyre.comhttp://www.mullhistoricalsociety.comhttp://www.facebook.com/mullhistoricalsocietyhttp://www.twitter.com/mullhistoricalhttp://www.twitter.com/colinmacintyrehttp://www.instagram.com/mullhistoricalhttp://www.instagram.com/colinmacintyremull

From Stage to Page presented by Colin MacIntyre (Mull Historical Society) Mull Historical Society 2018-07-27 | From Stage to Page, The Roundhouse, London - May 2018Presented as part of Frank Turner's Lost Evenings Festival by multi-award-winning musician, producer, author and playwright, Colin MacIntyre, who records and performs as ‘Mull Historical Society’. The event had discussion and performances from Colin and other award-winning ‘paperback writer’ musicians: Kathryn Williams, Kerry Andrew & best-selling author, Laura Barnett. Who have all jumped from the stage onto the page. The show explores the relationship between words, music and performance. Does the creative process, the authentic voice, all come from the same place? How does it feel to go from working in a room with an audience, to a room on your own? Colin has so far achieved four Top 40 singles and two Top 20 albums to date under the moniker Mull Historical Society. Colin’s debut novel ‘The Letters of Ivor Punch’ won the 2015 Edinburgh International Book Festival First Book Award and he has just adapted it for the stage. He has a new memoir and a children’s book out right now, and in September will be releasing his eighth MHS album with Bernard Butler (Suede, McAlmost & Butler) producing. He has been voted Scotland’s top creative talent, and hails from a family of writers on the isle of Mull in the Hebrides. His father was the respected broadcaster and BBC Scotland Political & Industrial Correspondent, Kenny Macintyre.To look out from more From Stage to Page events, featuring other writer-musicians as well as writer-comedians and actors, visit: http://www.mullhistoricalsociety.com Check out the new MHS album 'Wakelines': xmr.lnk.to/wakelines

MacIntyre is a major new British songwriting force."Q Magazine, on 'Us' "A great album....melodies with the sticking power of industrial strength Velcro. Brimming with breezing melodies. The monolithic closer, 'In The Next Life (A Requiem)' is MacIntyre's Life On Mars." 9/10 NME, on 'This Is Hope'"From the adrenalin fix of 'You're A Star' to the spiky 'Famous For Being Famous', here is a one-man anthem maker with more ambition and scale than many a band." The Sun, on 'The Water'"MacIntyre has gone back to his roots with this album. Delivered in the intimate country folk style. Reminiscent of a Caledonian Will Oldham. Also features a lovely King Creosote collaboration. Beautiful." 4/5 The Sunday Mail, on 'Island'"Awash with comfort, joy and metropolitan dazzle." The Guardian on 'City Awakenings'.
