The North Shore by MrBouzouki published on 2018-07-04T20:36:00Z Semi-Finalist in the Instrumental category in the UK Songwriting Contest 2018 With The North Shore I hope to give a feel of that 'magical interface' between land and sea, a place apart from the hustle and bustle of life where your soul can find peace for a while. A natural world full of wonder for those with the time and inclination to see. This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

It is part of the Lindisfarne Natural Nature Reserve and its shifting sands and tides combine to create the 3500 hectares of dunes, saltmarsh and mudflats of the Reserve, home to a fascinating array of birdlife, seals, rare orchids and other wildlife. To experience it you need to spend time on the island, either by choosing to be cut off by an early tide or ideally stay on the island for a while.
