Event preview by Jamie Scott.
Published 27 April 2009

Forget for a moment any East of Scotland scenes, and let us look to Glasgow, for Scotland's best kept folk lo-fi crossover has returned. Since Alasdair Roberts passed Will Oldham a demo tape back in the mid 90s, he has been releasing record after record on the Chicago label Drag City, coupling open finger picked guitars with a lavish lyricism. Soon enough, you will be able to find copies of his new LP Spoils, but until then, his UK wide tour with band in tow will have to suffice. Be sure not to miss this hugely important Scottish talent.
