Norman Blake is a Scottish songwriter and founding member of Teenage Fanclub. The band rose to prominence in the 1990s with hit albums such as Bandwagonesque and Grand Prix and quickly became known for their guitar-heavy melodic sound and sun-soaked harmonies. They have continued to develop into one of Scotland’s best loved bands and are currently working on a new album. Norman has also collaborated with a range of artists including Joe Pernice, Jad Fair, The Tenniscoats, Euros Childs, Bernard Butler and James Grant. This will be a rare opportunity to hear Norman sing songs from his extensive back-catalogue in a stripped-back setting.

Support comes from Adam Ross. Adam is a songwriter described as “one of Scotland’s most talented singers and songwriters” (Klof). His new album, Bring On The Apathy, is his third solo record, following on from 2024’s Littoral Zone produced by Andrew Wasylyk. He is known for his unique blend of indie-folk characterised by intricate lyrics which blend storytelling, humour and moments of poignancy. He is also the creative force behind indie-pop band Randolph’s Leap.
