GRAHAM COSTELLO'S STRATA
Featuring some of Scotland’s finest young jazz musicians, the raw enthusiasm of STRATA’S improvised performances centres around a musical framework composed by its founder Graham Costello, a first-class graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with the flair and skill to display percussive leadership from behind the drumkit. A residency at Glasgow’s Bar Bloc has allowed the band to open jazz up to indie/alternative audiences, winning new fans, and they have been rewarded with coveted slots at the Glasgow Jazz Festival and BBC Radio Scotland's Jazz Nights at the Quay.
ZOE GRAHAM
There is an impressive maturity and attention to detail in Zoe Graham’s music that sets this accomplished young songwriter apart from her peers. On stage, you will find her either with band or fleshing out the instrumentation with loop pedals on solo outings.
But when Zoe pares it back to just a vocal and acoustic guitar, as she does on the achingly poignant The Anniesland Lights (from her recent Hacket & Knackered EP), that is when you know you're in the company of someone very special indeed. Championed by Radio Scotland's Roddy Hart and with multiple Celtic Connections appearances to her name, Zoe Graham's understated charms will not stay below the radar for much longer.
EDWIN ORGAN
In the past few years Edwin Organ’s postcode has shifted from Dunfermline to Ayr and on to Glasgow, each move coinciding with his own artistic evolution. Leaving behind his techno/club music origins, we find him pushing the boundaries of leftfield synthpop on debut EP, Missing the T, with scattered beats and melodic foundations pulling the four tracks in unpredictably thrilling directions. It is easy to see why Edwin Organ has attracted invites from T in the Park, Electric Fields and XpoNorth and recorded a session for Vic Galloway’s Radio Scotland show.
