Johnston and Gordon

Euan Johnston and Andrew Gordon have been friends from the Scottish music scene for 15 years. Finally getting together as a duo in early 2016, Euan and Andrew have worked on a set that shows their passion for Scottish and Irish Music. Never taking themselves to seriously, they switch from the serious to the surreal, from syphilis to seals. Their accompanying guitar and bodhran rhythms could be considered “robust” and when both bodhrans are out… Mighty! After a tour in Denmark, the duo have made inroads around the folk club and festival circuit in Scotland, and have had interest from Germany and Northern England.

Other Stories

Clare McBrien – Piano: Aileen Marshall – Cello:  Sadie Ryan – Violin:  Tony Harris – Guitar

Other Stories are a Glasgow based four-piece formed in 2017. After playing together in other bands, Clare (vocals, piano), Tony (guitar, vocals), Sadie (violin, vocals) and Aileen (cello, vocals) began writing and rehearsing for their new project. They first started sharing demos and playing live in the summer of 2018 with listeners comparing their sound to Bat for Lashes, Sufjan Stevens and Kathryn Joseph.
