MUGSTOCK. HI. soon. Man. This summer is being SUCH FUN.
UGH
Delighted to be playing MugStock Festival at the end of July. This lovely wee festival near Glasgow has a reputation for having a great atmosphere, a beautiful site, and a very convincing line-up. Weekend tickets are £80 including camping, but you can get a tenner off by using the discount code VIP before 17th July at 20:17. Hopefully see you there.
July is almost upon us, a rumble of music in the distance, a summer storm of the best kind. In the immediate future, and with full band, a performance at the Paisley Arts Centre for the Scottish Alternative Music Awards Showcase on the 1st July. Then, on 3rd July, to ITALY for one show at CarroPonte in Milano. How exciting. There are more live date announcements to come… in fact quite a few… very much looking forward to sharing and seeing you soon. – RSHQ

Ireland.
A delight to sweep along your coasts. Such adventure.
Thank you to Graham Sweeney and Rhys McBride, our constant road companions.
To all who came to hear.
Our last show in Westport was a good way to finish, with a sporadic swooping of Adam Holmes to help close the night. Now we’re at Graham’s home on the Isle of Achill before returning to real life, tomorrow.

Considerata una delle migliori promesse del folk, dalla Scozia arriva Rachel Sermanni per un appuntamento da non perdere lunedì 3 luglio al Carroponte di Sesto San Giovanni (MI). Il concerto è a ingresso gratuito.
Con la musica folk nel sangue, Rachel Sermanni, classe ’91, è una cantautrice, musicista e artista di grande spessore,
capace di trasmettere un’aura pura e mistica a chi la ascolta. Nel 2011 ha pubblicato il suo primo EP, The Bothy Sessions, registrato con un gruppo di amici in modo del tutto spontaneo e profondo in una foresta. Il vero e proprio debutto discografico risale però al 2012, quando la Sermanni pubblica il suo Under Mountaiss, prodotto da Ian Grimble e registrato nel meraviglioso Watercolour Studios, immerso nelle West Higlands. Under Mountains è il primo vero contributo musicale di Rachel Sermanni al mondo e il primo momento in cui il mondo ha davvero accolto la musica dellacantautrice. 4 anni di tour no stop le hanno permesso di trovare le giuste ispirazioni per creare nuova musica e registrare nuove sessioni, dal vivo e in studio.
Nel marzo del 2014, immersa nei bastioni della Nuova Scozia, Rachel ha gettato i semi di una nuova reazione: Tied to
the Moon è il suo secondo album, rilasciato nel 2015 con ampia attenzione da parte della critica: ascoltare questo cd è come fare una passaggiata coccolati dalla dolce luce della luna. La creatività di Rachel Sermanni è frutto di intense
collaborazioni e sinergie con amici, famiglia, insegnanti, che l’hanno sostenuta durante tutto il suo percorso con consigli e osservazioni. Per la Sermanni, la cretività è felicità.
H 21.30 – Ingresso Gratuito

Kate Bush is a storm of a woman. And we are singing her songs, all thunder, flash and tender earth, in just over a week at Glasgow’s O2 ABC.
So happy this show is getting another airing. It was a really special thing in Aberdeen last year. Come Running.
