“Their ace combination of rock swagger, blues groove, and the rough and tumble of Americana is one few Scottish bands can match.” The Music Brewery . Since their inception in June ’14 and the release of their debut EP, ‘6:45 & 450 Down’ at the beginning of 2015, the band has played numerous venues and festivals throughout Scotland including Glasgow’s ABC, King Tuts; the Belladrum festival in Inverness and the enchanting Eden festival. The miles travelled and the countless hours of stage time has helped shape a sound that takes many twists and turns during their live set.

Gordon Kennedy – Listen Again Archive Site
Gordon Kennedy is a poet, composer & singer from Glasgow, Scotland. He comes from a background of electronic music, being one half of electronic / experimental duo The Cray Twins. His recent work has involved environmental recordings, which he uses to make instruments from the sounds of the landscape: from the wind and the waves, from traffic and machinery, from birds’ wings and human voices. This is now merging increasingly with his engagement in the British folk tradition: the music of the land, using instruments made of the landscape. Old and new music using old, new instruments. Breath, voice and then everything.
