Heads Up! Ssc Fundraiser, Feat. Washington Irving + Guests, July 2nd @ Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh

Location

MY DEAR OLD STRUAN would like to invite you to an evening of frolickingly good entertainment at the Cabaret Voltaire to raise funds for the SSC – a club for the youth of scotland. www.thessc.org

Washington Irving are an alternative folk pop sextet from Glasgow. Their powerful blend of storming vocals, folksy guitars, flute driven melodies, and pounding drums is forming a fanatical fan base across the country. Fresh after touring the length and breadth of the UK, a busy summer of festivals awaits….

“If there was any justice in the world, Washington Irving would be spread across the playlists of RADIO 1 & BBC 6 music, like a rash!” Tom Robinson – BBC 6 Music
