Norman Willmore

Norman Willmore was born on the kitchen floor of the last house on the last road deep in the west side of the Shetland Islands, and now lives in Glasgow. His music draws strongly on the Scandinavian and Norse heritage of his home along with elements of electronic music and Jazz. Norman’s solo sets are accompanied by a relic of his youth - the foot pedals of an organ, which he uses to back his explorative and subversive renditions of traditional material.
