Roddy Woomble

Event Information

With his enigmatic and poetic lyrics, warm baritone voice and consummate gift for a tune, Roddy Woomble is widely considered to be among Scotland's best contemporary songwriters.

Over the sixteen albums that he has released (nine with his band Idlewild, and seven as a solo artist) he has traversed punk rock, chart bothering melodic rock, folk and
most recently electronica, with his most recent project Almost Nothing. Each one delivered with the humble grace that he's become known for.

Roddy's upcoming record re-unites him with songwriting partner Sorren Maclean and was recorded with contributions from family and friends, in an old church on the Isle of Mull.

Special guest is Adam Ross. Adam Ross is a solo performer and also the seasoned songwriter and the creative force behind Randolph’s Leap known for their decade-long contribution to the indie music scene. His solo career is marked by albums like Staring At Mountains and the new release Littoral Zone (produced by Andrew Wasylyk), which showcases his unique blend of orchestral indie-folk, characterised by intricate storytelling, humour and poignancy. Adam has graced stages at major festivals and venues, earning acclaim for his engaging live performances and airplay on prominent stations like BBC Radio Scotland and BBC 6 Music.
