Law Holt has a voice like Billy Holiday, laid lush over beats by Young Fathers. Leon is poised to hit the charts next year, with big label interest in his party vibes. Two Edinburgh live acts that we truly love, artists we think are going to draw a LOT of attention soon.
THE LAST OF BARRETT’S PRIVATEERS, Holy Moly and the Crackersss, Bevan
August 14th, 2013
TLoBP will be performing a headline show at Sneaky Pete’s for the Edinburgh festival. This may be the last chance to see them in the capital for a while so get on down!
Support comes in the form of the fantastic foot-stomping Holy Moly and the Crackersss, who are coming up from the English folk-hub of Newcastle to perform.

THE BUM CLOCKS, Leo Condie
August 13th, 2013
The Bum-Clocks have been called “the closest Edinburgh gets to a supergroup” ( The Scotsman ) and it’s been asked “Could they be Leith’s first supergroup?” ( The List ) but actor Tam Dean Burn, his brother Russell ( Fire Engines, Win, now Opium Kitchen ) and Malcolm Ross ( Josef K, Orange Juice, Aztec Camera ) just see themselves as serving the cause of Robert Burns and his songwriting partners Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan and the Bay City Rollers. Think we’re kidding? Then get yourself along to this one-off, specially-for-Sneaky Pete’s appearance with a very special guest on keyboards…
Star of Oscar-nominated The Illusionist and frontman of acclaimed Glasgow band The Low Miffs, Leo Condie wrings visceral melodrama from the songs of Brel and Brecht, plus other Weimar-era ballads of revelry and debauchery. With a voice the Times described as ‘…in the airy realms of Billy Mackenzie or Roy Orbison’, Condie veers from tender to theatrical in My Death, Amsterdam, What Keeps Mankind Alive. ‘Condie was all over the complex delivery without sacrificing anything in the enunciation’ **** (Scotsman).
