Hi - my name is Malcolm MacWatt and I'm a songwriter from Scotland. Interested in the links between the dark corners of Celtic history, folklore and Americana music and how they relate to modern times.
New album 'Dark Harvest' Jan 25th.

Sixteen years we’ve been in London and this is the first time I’ve noticed the Dixie Queen, a replica Mississippi paddle steamer, cruising down the Thames. I’m the world’s worst sailor so I’ll never actually step foot onboard but I like watching them from dry land 😁

Thanks to everyone for a very memorable show at the wonderful Glenfarg Folk Club last night 🎶🏴❤️
Despite the heavy rain it was a busy night and I made so many new friends. Brilliant sound from Keith and a huge thanks to the wonderful hosts and audience who gave a lot of love to the new songs

I saw a signpost in Dumfries and Galloway to the ‘Devil’s Porridge Museum’. Discovered the remarkable story of the thousands of young women who flocked to Gretna Green to make munitions in WWI so I had to write a song about them 🎶🏴

A wee favour if possible? Can anyone from Scotland record themselves chatting for about 3 mins?
It's for a song and I just need some Scottish accents. It'll all be mixed together into a hubbub of talk fading in as the music fades out. Not looking for studio quality.
DM me.
THANK YOU 🏴 😁 🙏

Lovely morning in the woods surrounded by bluebells and birdsong. For me, field archery is a total break from music and it gives me the mental space to process new melodies and lyrics 🎶

‘Sometimes It’s Too Much’ written a few years ago- just released 🎶
I had this little banjo riff that felt so right for these tender words.
The whole arrangement was basically about using space & melody to bring a wistful ray of hope into a dark place.

Found a quintessential English tearoom baking and selling ‘Maids of Honour’ tarts which have been enjoyed and eaten since Tudor times apparently.
Great to sit outside in the sun drinking tea and nibbling on warm pastries.
Back to the studio next week 🎶

Thursday night’s @folkandroots.bsky.social gig at the Soho Folk & Blues club was a delight. A lovely opportunity to perform completely acoustically - just voice, guitar and the natural reverb of a small room - for an appreciative and welcoming audience.

Little song I wrote and recorded this week.
My last Christmas single ‘The Night Before Christmas’ has done so well I was seduced into writing another.
If you feel like sharing some Xmas love, please give it a spin 😍
