Congratulations to The Canny Band -Upcoming Artist of The Year – at The Trad Awards 2021
The Canny Band
Many congratulations to the lads – Sam Mabbett , Michael Biggins and Callum Convoy for winning the ‘Up and Coming Artists’ at The Scots Trad Music Awards 2021.
Sam Mabbett and Michael Biggins originally met in 2013 at The Folkworks Traditional Music Summer School with their love of the music, finally forming The Canny Band in 2017 when Sam moved to Glasgow (Sam already a Danny recipient in 2016 with Northern Company!) . They won a ‘Danny’ in 2018 at DKOS – Celtic Connections. Joined by Callum Convoy on bodhran this trio has built up quite a following and staunch fan base have also finished recording their first album.
You can look forward to seeing them at Celtic Connections on the 21st Jan 2022, in the Strathclyde Suite at The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Where the band will be launching their debut album! See you at the gig, along with the most excellent Irish group The Jeremiahs.
