About Roo & Neil: Homelands Album Launch
As part of Scotland on Tour, the exciting initiative to support the recovery of Scotland’s live music industry, classical, folk and jazz duo Roo and Neil will launch their debut album Homelands at Singl-End Café and Bakehouse, Glasgow on Friday 27th May.
Roo Geddes and Neil Sutcliffe are Glasgow-based artists who create original music for violin and accordion, inspired by people and landscapes and the ways in which music can evoke a sense of place and community. Their new album Homelands presents 6 new compositions which are rooted in the duo’s background of traditional music and culture, but also draw inspiration from the genres of classical, contemporary, and jazz.
Roo and Neil will invite audiences on a journey, exploring their sense of ‘home’. They also share their stories, images and ideas that inspired the music, creating an exciting and immersive performance.
Roo Geddes said: “We can’t wait to launch our debut album Homelands, showcasing new music composed over the last five years. Each piece we play tells the story of people and places that feel like home to us and explores our connection with them. From the majestic mountains of Argyll to the busy metropolis of Glasgow, this new album is a tribute to our musical, social and cultural roots, as well as to our family, friends and the sense of belonging that connects them all. We can’t wait to let everyone hear it in the unique venue of the Singl-End café and Bakehouse later this month.”
Roo and Neil will be supported by Glasgow based folk duo Josiah & Ludwig who are the stage name of the adventurous, Harry “Ludwig” Gorski-Brown on the fiddle, and his trusty counterpart, Andrew “Josiah” Herrington on the guitar.
Scotland on Tour will take place over a period of 12 months between April 2022 and 2023, supporting the creation of hundreds of concerts and performances at much-loved arts centres, town halls and community venues across Scotland. More than 120 artists are set to perform at more than 100 venues across the country as part of the initiative.
The project, which has been created and managed by Active Events, was made possible by £750,000 of Scottish Government backing and will focus on increasing the number of opportunities to showcase and enjoy live music, while bringing exciting acts to the doorstep of city, towns, villages and rural communities.
The year-long Scotland on Tour bill includes both emerging and established artists with genre-spanning acts appearing across the breadth and width of the country, with rock, pop, jazz, classical, folk, trad and acoustic genres all being showcased.
Tickets for these and a raft of other shows are on sale now at www.scotlandontour.com
