The Stray Birds

5 September, 2014 @ 8:00 pm

£12

The Stray Birds took America by storm last year having ended 2012 with this accolade in the country’s NPR Music Awards: “One of the top ten Folk/Americana albums of the year.”

AmericanaUK awarded a 9/10 rating and concluded: ”Acoustic, simple, marvellous writing, superlative playing, it really is astounding. If you have an ounce of interest in Americana then you really should get this album now and let The Stray Birds become your new favourite band…because they will be.”

Widely regarded as one of the outstanding highlights after their sold-out show at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections festival in January they arrive back in the UK fresh from appearances at the big Tonder Festival in Denmark where they featured as a top attraction this year.

“When the next full-length album comes out, we’ll see them elevated into a kind of folk/bluegrass superstardom”
Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
“A band that’s destined for Global success”
No Depression
“Their 2014 UK gigs will be some of the must-see events of the year”
Maverick magazine
