ANDY WHITE

A welcome return to Aberdeen for Belfast-born and now Melbourne-based singer songwriter Andy White to support the release of his 10th album ‘Songwriter’ this Autumn.

Recorded in Vancouver, Canada with members of Po' Girl, the Be Good Tanyas, and Neko Case's band, it's a new, rootsier musical direction for Andy, and reflects writing collaborations he has been working on for the past few years. The band also features virtuoso pianist Radoslav Lorkovic, who will tour the UK with Andy this coming October. There are songs co-written with Canadians Allison Russell (Po' Girl), Stephen Fearing (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings), Australian writer Sean Sennett and one-man Scots hit factory Stuart Crichton.

Autumn also sees the release of '21st Century Troubadour', Andy's collected on the road tour journals, scheduled for publication in October by Lagan Press.

His colourful career includes a stint alongside Tim Finn as one third of folk super trio ALT, appearances at WOMAD festivals all around the world, collaborating with Peter Gabriel, and winning the prestigious Hot Press Songwriter of the Year award. Best known for songs such as ‘James Joyce’s Grave’ and ‘Religious Persuasion’, Andy combines a pop sensibility with social commentary, once earning him the nickname ‘Belfast’s Bob Dylan’.

EMILY SCOTT

Emily Scott is a double-bassist and singer-songwriter born in Belfast and living in Edinburgh. Her debut album ‘Longshore Drift’ was self-released in 2007: the second, ‘abcdefg…etc…’ is released in Germany and the UK on Hamburg label aufgeladen und bereit this summer.

She has supported James Yorkston, Teitur and Vic Godard, toured Germany and Spain, and played at this year’s Fence Homegame. Rooted in the thriving Scottish folk/ anti-folk scene, she also plays double bass for Rob St. John and Benni Hemm Hemm.

“Whimsical, charming, double-bass-inflected folk-pop with buckets of soul & unexpected melodic twists” (Vic Galloway, Radio Scotland)

“a multi-skilled musician with an extraordinary deftness of touch…one of Edinburgh’s most cherished possessions” (The Scotsman, On the Radar)

“Understated but intriguing balladry…breaking down the listener’s expectations with unusual chord changes and cute multi-syllable rhymes…” (live review, the Skinny)
