Jamie Sutherland

Jamie Sutherland is the lead singer of Edinburgh’s Broken Records (4ad, JSharp Records). In 2017 he recorded his debut solo album “Bruise” with Neil Pennycook (Meursault) and a cast of friends including members of Broken Records, Meursault, Stanley Odd, The Leg & Siobhan Wilson. Finally released in Nov 2020, “Bruise” is a collection of songs about the passing and understanding of time through the prism of fatherhood and changing relationships. Likened to John Prine, Mike Scott of The Waterboys, Bill Fay & Tim Buckley, his style is an unselfconscious love affair of classic 60’s and 70’s song writing. Bruise – 4* The Scotsman

Rick Redbeard

Rick Redbeard is the folkish solo project of Scottish musician and songwriter Rick Anthony, best known as the lead singer from Glasgow's celebrated The Phantom Band. He has released 2 acclaimed albums under the Rick Redbeard moniker- 2013's 'No Selfish Heart' and 2016's 'Awake Unto'. After the pandemic curtailed plans for the release of his 3rd album in 2020, he turned to Bandcamp and has released 4 collections on the platform over the past 2 years- 2 instrumental EPs, 'Echo Memory' and 'Aberdonian Time-Slip', and 2 full-length collections of unreleased songs- 'First Songs: Covers, Clangers and Myspace Bangers', and 'From Under Old Moons'. Anthony's songwriting melds a strong melodic sensibility with traditional folk themes like love, death, and the passing of time, and lyrics inspired by the natural world and his childhood growing up in the Aberdeenshire countryside.
