Michael McGovern is a Glasgow-born singer-songwriter whose poetic lyrics and fingerpicked nylon - string guitar craft a deeply emotional folk sound. His debut album, Highfield Suite (2021), recorded during isolation in 2020 and produced by Bill Shanley , earned critical praise across the UK and Ireland. Including BBC Album of the Week, RTE Lyric feature, and an “unexpected gem” nod from folk legend Paul Brady. His new album Thin White Road marks a confident step forward, expanding on his folk roots with full - band arrangements, layered harmonies, and touches of saxophone and strings. The breakout single “Evelyn” went viral in early 2025 , sparking a wave of online covers. The album draws on literary influences like Laurie Lee, Hunter S. Thompson, and T.S. Michaels live shows are celebrated for their emotional impact and warmth. Thin White Road confirms him as one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary folk.
Scott C. Park delivers catchy slacker-indie confessionals that are razor-sharp, loose and swaggering all at once, with powerful walls of vocal harmonies and guitar solos that hold on for dear life. Growing up on his family’s campsite on the remote Isle of Lewis has given the singer-guitarist a unique perspective on the world: an island where oppressive presbyterianism lives alongside rich celtic tradition, where every village has its quirky characters and every stone has a story. While his music borrows more stylistically from north American slacker-rock legends like Pavement, Wilco, and Neil Young, Park’s lyricism is firmly rooted in the west of Scotland, drawing on hyper-local references to paint his picture of how it feels to grow up where the wind howls, and the preacher howls louder.
Show starts at 7:30pm.
