The Growing Scotsman
Kate Molleson, with Dr John Purser, traces Chisholm’s early life, folk inspirations and first steps in music.
Kate Molleson, joined by Dr John Purser, begins Erik Chisholm’s story in Glasgow, where a boy with Highland pride discovered the piano and the lure of folk melody. From classroom mishaps to teenage fugues and summers with Leff Pouishnoff, we follow the restless energy that shaped one of Scotland’s most original musical voices.
