HER NAME IS CALLA, SNEAKY PETE'S, EDINBURGH, JUNE 20 2018

One of my favourite bands of any genre, ever, played Edinburgh. How, in any sane world, could I NOT go? They were reduced to a 3-piece by illness, but they managed to play a bruising, ferocious set anyway. The heaviest set I've seen them play.

Sneaky's was very dark and foggy that night and getting pictures was really hard. Which is why there are none of the two supports.Sorry about that.

Line-up:

LOUISE McCRAW: Ethereal singer/songwriter, one-time front-person of dream-pop combo SKJØR, most recently with a new project called GOODNIGHT LOUISA. And, yes, despite the video title, the name IS McCraw.

LAUREN RYCROFT: Top class singer/songwriter from Leeds, on tour with HNIC.

HER NAME IS CALLA: Never been able to assign a totally relevant genre to HNIC, so I'll stick with 'alternative rock'.They were more than that, but it'll do. They say they've played their last gig, but they've said that more than once, so...

HALF FORMED THINGS, LA BELLE ANGELE,, EDINBURGH, NOVEMBER 10 2018

There's no photographs for this one, for some reason. I have no idea why. It was a long time ago. 

Line-up:

LOUISE McCRAW: Edinburgh singer/songwriter, sometime member of dream-pop band, SKJØR.  (SKJØR is Norwegian for 'fragile', which seems appropriate)

HALF FORMED THINGS: Experimental dream-pop sort of thing, for which the term 'cinematic' may have been invented. Sadly no longer together, but drummer Stewart (or maybe Edwin) now hits things for Young Fathers, amongst others, and guitarist Matthew is working on new stuff with singer/songwriter Tony Wright, ex of ASIWYFA.
