JOSEPH MILLER – Glasgow

Joseph Miller is a singer and songwriter based in Glasgow, Scotland.
In 2012 he started playing small shows around London where he was living and working at the time. In early 2014 he independently released an acoustic collection of songs titled The ‘One-Take’ sessions. The tracks were originally recorded as demos in one take with just an acoustic guitar and vocal. The release was praised by several online blogs who celebrated his striking voice and emotive lyrics.
In November of 2014 Joseph was personally selected by Christina Perri (‘Jar of Hearts’/’A Thousand Years’) to open for her on the Glasgow stop of her ‘Head or Heart Tour’. He has also opened for Stu Larsen, Tom Speight and Into The Ark as well as many of Glasgow’s very own rising talent – Mick Hargan, Sharon Martin and Panic Anchor. Not only has he opened for artists of such high calibre but he has also headlined many of Glasgow’s most iconic venues – King Tuts, o2 ABC2, Classic Grand, The Old Hairdressers, The Glad Café and Cottiers Theatre.
The ‘Live in Glasgow’ EP was released in November 2019.

MIMA MERROW – Glasgow

Mima Merrow is an Irish singer-songwriter based in Glasgow. She left Belfast at 18 to live in Glasgow and soon she will have been away from home for as long as she was there.
Merrow’s sound is a unique blend of alternative folk characterised by longing, sudden changes in direction, and melodies that ache. Fascinated by the relationship between our environments and bodies, her thoughtful lyricism is held together by intimacy, honesty, and stories that challenge her listeners.
Mima released her debut album, Almost Home, in September 2022. It explores the idea of home; where it is, who is allowed there, the rituals and rites of passage that bring it together.
The record is produced by Inge Thomson (who also performs on the LP), mixed by Garry Boyle (The Elephant Sessions, Stanley Odd, RSNO) and mastered by Dean Honer.
Admiral Fallow’s Louis Abbott plays drums and percussion and Jill Lorean plays strings, with Ali Hendry on trumpet, James Lindsay on bass, and Inge Thomson on electronics, backing vocals, and percussion.
Singles I’ve Been Waiting and Secret Codes have helped secure airplay on BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Foyle and BBC Radio Scotland (thanks to Roddy Hart) as well as spins on Amazing Radio and glowing reviews via SNACK magazine, the Scottish Alternative Music Awards (SAMAs) and The Music Files.
