Magpie Blue

November 20th, 2019

Magpie Blue embarks on her first headline tour this November.

Scottish Singer Songwriter and lyricist, Magpie Blue released her debut single ‘Just In Time’ on June 14th via Seahorse Music.

The track was produced in Edinburgh by Rod Jones of Idlewild and features drummer Michael Reid of Man of Moon and guitarist Louise McCraw of Goodnight Louisa.

“Lyrically, Magpie Blue delves into introspective yet sharply to-the-point subject matters from heartbreak to anxiety, investing her words with a raw truth. You get the sense listening to this number of an old head resting on young shoulders, of someone who has the emotional intelligence to channel real feeling into their art.

Having already gained comparisons at this early stage of her career to the likes of PJ Harvey and Anna Calvi, her Jeff Buckley-esque vocals inflect this number with a sense of raw melancholy. A husky, brooding start sets the track off on a low key, before her band, featuring the likes of drummer Michael Reid of Man of Moon and guitarist Louise McCraw of Goodnight Louisa, build proceedings to a mighty crescendo, subtle electronics adding an unexpected layer of depth. Production duties are confidently overseen by Idlewild’s Rod Jones, who brings his band’s keen ear for melodics to ensure this track remains firmly lodged in the ears after it’s finished.” – Bitter Sweet Symphonies

The artist uses her distinctive voice to illustrate her intriguing yet relatable lyrics, depicting heartbreak and the brutally honest inner thoughts of an anxious mind.

( “Magpie Blue AKA Millie Hanlon Cole debuts onto the scene with the phenomenal Just In Time. The Edinburgh-based singer/songwriter displays her unquestionable talent throughout this four minute track, allowing her powerhouse vocals to take centre stage.” – SAMA )

Soul Jam is 10: Aidan Gibson

November 19th, 2019

Soul Jam turns 10 years old! That’s 520 Tuesdays, 2,200 hours of dancing, at least 1200 Jägerbombs, 26,000 songs (lots of Teddy Pendergrass) and plenty of difficult Wednesdays.

To celebrate, we’re inviting some of our friends to take us all the way up to NYE, which will be the LAST EVER Soul Jam on a Tuesday, after which we are excited to be taking up a coveted monthly weekend slot at Sneaks.

This week, a Soul Jam regular since touching down in Edinburgh makes his debut appearance. Aidan Gibson is (despite the name) native of Heidelberg, home town of Move D – and, much in a similar vein, is a hip hop head and disco lover who has recently begun a belting show on EH-FM.

£3 / Members £1

Alex Rex with special appearance from Mike Heron

November 19th, 2019

In our opinion, Alex Rex’s Otterburn is the best Scottish album of 2019. Its songs of love, loss and loathing meld genres unfathomably across swoonsome country balladry, primitive psychedelic funk and swampy cajun boogie.

Alex uses his uncommon and extraordinary voice to lyrically delve in the murky depths of bereavement, kink and cruelty. Alex ‘Rex’ Neilson is Trembling Bells’ drummer and songwriter and has toured and made albums with Bonny ‘Prince’ Billy. Alex’s songwriting and delivery is every bit that great man’s equal.
