The Fortunate Sons


Friday 5 October 2007
Doors 7.30pm Tickets £20


Sharing a mutual love of roots, rhythm and blues, Sam West, Calum McCann, Michael Law and Graham McGeoch formed The Fortunate Sons in a smoky west end flat in 2005. Creating an underground buzz with Friday and Saturday night residencies in Glasgow, they cut their teeth in the early hours of the morning playing folk and blues in dark and dirty venues.

After causing such a stir around Glasgow, The Fortunate Sons were soon taking their sound to bigger audiences after being invited to record the first ever live session on Scotland's number one commercial radio station, Real Radio. They followed up this exposure by playing to thousands at the "Big in Falkirk" festival alongside Sandi Thom, Orson and Midge Ure, before flying off for an eleven show tour of Europe.

After a blistering 2006, the band have now started work on their debut album due for release in June and are in increasing demand for festivals in the UK and Europe.
