  1. I enjoyed Delawair....as you say' date=' very nice harmonies. I actually preferred Rick's solo set to when I saw Unkle Bob at the Lemon Tree....more fragile sounding...I really liked his last song. Cheers to Andy & Kevin of Vocoustics for allowing us to join the fun.

    Cheers Alan, it was an excellent night :cheers: , really enjoyed your's and Delawair set.

    Rick really liked the venue and i'm hoping to get the full Unkle Bob band up later in the year....

    His songs did sound more fragile solo, his voice felt like it was about to fall off a cliff or something (if that make any sense!)

    yeah I thought he was great. On record the full band are amazing.

  2. thats what happened the The Beat Trap and you can catch them live at...

    Cafe Drummonds

    Saturday 14th May

    on stage at 10:45

    The Beat Trap formed Feb. 2004 in Glasgow after three Shetlanders and a Brora boy got together in their adopted city. By May 2004 the band felt that the time perform to an audience. May 22nd - The Beat Trap played their first gig in Kieran's girlfriend's flat to around forty friends and theatre-goers.

    Since then they have entertained the FF aftershow party-goers at the Glasgows School of Art, and supported FF, and The Kaiser Chiefs, at the Glasgow SECC on the 19th of December 2004. A great high-profile gig....

    and The Beat Goes On...

    Delawair

    The Kitchen Cynics

    The Tunnels - Wednesday 4th May - 3 from 8pm - First act 8:30pm

    Rick Webster

    Rick Webster is the singer/songwriter from Glasgow's much praised Unkle Bob. Rick takes his influences from early 70s artists such as Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Tim Buckley, Cat Stevens, John Martyn, Carole King, and Neil Young.

    Their sound has been descirbed as "the musical equivalent of the last warm bath you'd take before cutting your wrists" (Guardian) but Unkle Bob insist that it is all about the writing of good songs.

    An early debut appeared in May 2003 which captured something of the bands early promise and helped raise their profile with airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Scotland, Beat 106.

    In February 2005 they released a fantastic EP The Hit Parade and played an 8-date tour of Scotland, including a date at the Lemon Tree.

    Rick will be accompanied by Stuart Cartwright on guitar, banjo and mandolin for this chilled acoustic set of BOB songs.

    In a world looking for the next fashion, the outstanding Unkle Bob might well turn out to be the norm The List 50 Best Scottish bands of all Time (New Talent)

    "Unkle Bob really do look set for great things." Scotland on Sunday

    "Rick Websters expressive voice and a repertoire of tuneful happy-sad songs recalls the likes of Nick Drake [...] compelling to listen to" The Scotsman (Jan 05)

    "a singer who sounds like Nick Drake whispering secrets into Ray Davies' ear, plus he possesses an enviable stash of country-folk heartbreakers." Scotland on Sunday (Nov 04)
