WHEN Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday is a musical project headed by singer-songwriter Jo Mango with the aim of bringing together academic, musical, artistic and practical knowledge in creating in a more sustainable world.
After working together on a research project called Fields of Green, looking at how the live music industry could reduce its carbon footprint, Jo Mango and a set of Scottish songwriters went on to write Wrack Lines, a collection of songs funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) who then sent out a proposal to put on a festival of events around the UK on the theme of Community Futures and Utopias (a Connected Communities Research Festival) that would see different communities using the arts to to explores environment issues.
Mango then took part in songwriting sessions in London, Manchester and Edinburgh resulting in three songs: The Ceasing with Louis Abbott, If I Could Choose with Adem Ilhan and with Craig Beaton and Abbott.
Ahead of Mango’s show tonight at the Electric Circus in Edinburgh with Admiral Fallow and The Cathode Ray, in aid of Edinburgh’s Carers Council and a gig at Glasgow’s Glad Cafe next month in support of the new Olive Grove EP, which includes a new Mango track, The National is exclusively offering her collaboration with Ilhan below.
Nov 19, The Glad Cafe, Glasgow, details TBA. jomango.bandcamp.com

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
