In 2018 Norrie was approached by Paul MacAlindin and the Glasgow Barons to write four new songs based on the history of Govan. This was a great opportunity for Norrie who had always wanted to perform with an orchestra. After the success of the first concert, Norrie went on to write a total of 13 new songs that he performed over 3 concerts with the orchestra. Norrie and the Glasgow Barrons then recorded all the songs to make their first album together.
Norrie recorded a new album during the 2020, The “Lockdown Sessions” will be released on Norrie’s own label, Tago Records.
