Album of the Week 26th Oct 2019– Doghouse Roses – ‘We Are Made Of Light’
Doghouse Roses
Tune in at noon on 26 Oct to hear Doghouse Roses in conversation with Mike Ritchie about their album and upcoming gigs
Paul Tasker and Iona Macdonald started playing music together soon after meeting in late 2005. Tasker’s inspiration to play the guitar came after hearing legendary guitarist Bert Jansch in a Glasgow working men’s club in the early 1990s. He subsequently went on to win a ‘Danny Kyle Award’ at Celtic Connections in 2004 as guitarist and songwriter for Aberdeen based band Sal. Iona Macdonald’s increasing reputation has led to her being much in demand as a session singer, and in 2008 she performed with Howe Gelb and the Pilgrim Road Orchestra on the Willard Grant Conspiracy Pilgrim Road tour
Tasker & Macdonald formed Doghouse Roses in 2006, after one too many nights drinking red wine and listening to Pentangle, Fairport Convention and Gillian Welch records. Since then they have played many shows in the UK and Europe. They also started their own record label, Yellowroom Music, on which they have released, Singles / EP’s and albums
