The North Sea Scrolls is a collaborative project by Luke Haines, Cathal Coughlan and Andrew Mueller which was performed live in 2011, with an album following in 2012.

An alternative musical history of the British Isles, The North Sea Scrolls was originally performed at the Edge Festival in Edinburgh in August 2011.

[1] The show featured songs based on this alternative history performed by Haines and Coughlan, with narration from Mueller.
