Edgar Road, who have just recently com...pleted their line up look forward to their debut gig at the Bishopmill Hall, featuring previous members of Celtic Rock band Crannog, they still have some of that Crannog vibe but they continue to evolve within Alternative Rock taking in new styles and influences.

Sons o? the Soil who previously featured in our Friday Bio Section are no strangers to the live arena having graced the Speyfest stage many times.

Final act on the bill is William Freeman, hailing from Lossiemouth but now playing his music in Glasgow where he also studies music production.
His Soft guitar melodies mixed with meaningful lyrics provide easy listening songs that fit comfortably in the folk/acoustic genre.
