The Jerwood Residencies 2015 support the creation of new work and new ways of working by Scottish artists working collaboratively. Generously funded by the Jerwood charitable trust since 2002, four residencies of two weeks each focus on research and experiment rather than development of a specific project and take place within the interdisciplinary setting of Cove Park.

In TROVE OF LORE (working title), Alex Neilson, Lavinia Blackwall and Mike Hastings (in collaboration with Stewart Lee and Tom Chick) research a wide variety of traditional folk songs. They experiment with various musical and vocal arrangements for these songs in preparation for a collaborative album by Trembling Bells and Stewart Lee.
