The Fraser Shaw Trust is delighted to announce that Fraser’s much-anticipated tune book will be launched at Islay Sessions, a festival which he played an integral role in setting up.Mac Ìle: The Music of Fraser Shaw will contain 30 original compositions with chords, 10 pipe settings, stories, tributes and photographs.
The Fraser Shaw Trust was set up in memory of ‘a much-loved guy and wonderful musician’ from Islay who passed away in May 2015 after battling with MS and eventually PML, a viral disease which destroys brain tissue.
A few years prior to this, Fraser had it in mind to release a book of his own compositions, the proceeds of which would go towards the MS Care Centre in Lochilphead, Scotland. Unfortunately, due to his health, this never came to fruition.
