It’s a great time to catch bands on tour, says Lisa-Marie Ferla.
FOR many of us, a Scottish autumn means cosy jumpers, bonfires, hot toddies and finding excuses to stay in out of the rain. Not so for our hardy musicians, whose calendars seem even more full this month.
November’s highlights include tours from Glasgow pop-rockers Catholic Action and eclectic eccentric The Pictish Trail; an adopted Scotsman’s return from Korea and the tail end of the Sonica Festival, a world-renowned celebration of sonic and visual art with its roots in Glasgow. Even 80s pop legends Hue and Cry will be back on the road, promoting latest album Pocketful of Stones with shows in Dundee, Aberdeen, Greenock, Edinburgh and Hamilton, along with an Average White Band support slot in Glasgow on November 23.
Led by Chris McCrory, a Glasgow producer already renowned for his work with the likes of Siobhan Wilson and The Pooches, four-piece Catholic Action released their debut album In Memory Of – co-produced by McCrory, of course – on October 20. This month, they take to the road with Nottingham trio Kagoule on a UK-wide tour, which includes dates in Edinburgh (Sneaky Pete’s, 6th) and Glasgow (Broadcast, 7th).
