Overview

The Last Battle were a Scottish alternative indie folk band, who formed in Edinburgh in 2009 around the songs of singer/songwriter Scott Longmuir. Their name derives from a C.S Lewis novel. They released two albums, Heart of the Land, Soul of the Sea (2010) and Lay Your Burden Down (2014). Early history In early 2009, after the disbandment of their old group, singer/songwriter Scott Longmuir and bassist Paul Barrett decided to take a D.I.Y. approach to making music, and began recording in Barrett's small one bedroom flat, utilising his bathroom, hallway and living room as live space, and asking people who could play traditional instruments such as cello, glockenspiel and ukulele, to play on the recordings. Following the rise in popularity of similar Scottish Alternative Folk artists such as Frightened Rabbit, they began sending demo's out to independent record labels. Upon receiving A&R interest, the pair decided to put a band together to play the songs live. Barrett asked partner Flora MacKay - who had played on the initial demos - to join them on cello full time, whilst Longmuir brought in his partner Ella Duncan on glockenspiel, her sister Arwen on backing vocals and close friend Daniel Barnett on acoustic guitar. Later, an old high school friend, Liam O'Hare, was asked to join on percussion.

Notable quotes

“Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air-raids.”
— Opening lines
“"You have listened to fears, Child," said Aslan. "Come, let me breathe on you. Forget them. Are you brave again?"”
— Aslan to Susan, in Ch. 11 : The Lion Roars
“"Fools!" said the man, stamping his foot with rage. "That is the sort of talk that brought me here, and I'd better have been drowned or never born. Do you hear what I say? This is where dreams — dreams, do you understand — come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams."”
— Ch. 12 : The Dark Island
“Aravis also had many quarrels (and, I'm afraid, even fights) with Cor, but they always made it up again: so that years later, when they were grown up, they were so used to quarrelling and making it up again that they got married so as to go on doing it more conveniently.”
— Ch. 15 : Rabadash the Ridiculous
“All get what they want; they do not always like it.”
— Aslan, in Ch. 14 : The Planting of the Tree
“"So it was," said the Faun. "But you are now looking at the England within England, the real England just as this is the real Narnia. And in that inner England no good thing is destroyed."”
— Ch. 16 : Farewell to Shadowlands
