Ceitidh Mac - Seabird+ (2024) Hi Res

Seabird+ is a collection of 3 remixes alongside the original tracks from Seabird EP. Celebrating the eclectic mix of brilliant artists in the North East music scene, this collection of remixes highlights the creativity and strength of the scene with new collaborations and re-imaginings from Rubber Oh, Me Lost Me and Frankie Archer.


‘Jump In’ is the opening track, and giving it a whole new dimension is the new Rubber Oh remix. Released on 22nd March 2024, this track has already received radio play from BBC6 on the New Music Fix Show as well as BBC Wales and local support from BBC Introducing. Rubber Oh is the solo project of Sam Grant, best known as guitarist and producer of Newcastle based heavy rockers Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. The Rubber Oh remix, with added synths and signature distortion adds to the depth of the track.

Released on 1st May is the second remix ‘Seedling’, from North East experimental folk artist Me Lost Me. Composed using samples entirely from the original vocals, drums and cello without any added elements, the intention with this remix was to keep the original, organic sounds to give it an underground, earthy feel which adding to the original idea of the track of a seed hibernating underground until Spring arrives. Me Lost Me has a back catalogue of incredible albums, most recently the brilliant ‘RPG’ which presents the idea of songwriting as a role-playing game and invites the listener in to explore this strange new world of fantasy pastoral lands, sleepless unreality, and the joy of losing yourself in stories.

The third and final remix ‘Sail Away’ by Frankie Archer is to be released on 17th May, along with the Seabird+ EP. Frankie Archer is pioneer in combining traditional song with electronic production. Adding a new twist to this track with a drum and bass remix, it brings out a euphoric drive. Frankie Archer has a busy schedule of live shows not to be missed, and was recently featured on Later with Jools Holland.
