Welcome Home My Dearie — now 67% funded + autumn tour dates
Dear friends,
A short note of thanks — and an invitation.
The crowdfunder for Welcome Home My Dearie, my forthcoming duo album with Alasdair Roberts, has already passed two-thirds of its goal this morning after only four days. We’re grateful for the warmth of response so far. If you’ve already contributed, thank you. If not, you can still join us and reserve a copy here;
https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/donald-wg-lindsay-alasdair-roberts-new-duo-albumThe album was recorded direct-to-tape earlier this year at Green Door Studio in Glasgow. It spans Scots narrative ballads, lyrical originals, whistle tunes, and pipe sets on the Lindsay System smallpipes.

Meanwhile, the Lindsay System project continues quietly in the background — its 10th anniversary will be marked in 2026 with new music, teaching, and gatherings. More on that soon.
Warm wishes,
Donald WG Lindsay
