News: DAN McCAFFERTY - THE FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN 30 YEARS
DAN McCAFFERTY THE FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN 30 YEARS FROM THE VOICE OF NAZARETH BRAND NEW ALBUM “LAST TESTAMENT” OUT ON OCTOBER 18th
There are very few classic rock vocalists that you recognize after singing just a few notes. One of these is the voice of the former front man of Scottish rockers Nazareth: the legendary Dan McCafferty.
After nearly fifty years of road work with the band Dan had to retire due to health reasons. However, that unique instrument, his voice, is still capable of blowing the roof off.
With fifteen tracks “Last Testament” is a blistering album with a full mix of lyrical and musical styles. There are out rockers, “My Baby” and “Bring It On Back” for example but at the core of this release is a new found freedom to explore avenues of creativity.

Concerts: Cats In Space, Jimi Anderson Group; Glasgow Oran Mor 9th May 2019
It could have been with heavy heart that Cats In Space fans trudged through the unseasonably cold and wet Glasgow evening to see the band on their Narnia tour; the news that singer Paul Manzi would soon be leaving his feline chums to take up the role of keyboard player/singer in The Sweet only just having settled in. Cats In Space however were here to celebrate, here to lift the mood and here to quite simply have a great time. With three albums under their belts CiS also have a plethora of thumping, pumping, retro-humping 70s styled anthems at their disposal. However, tonight’s early festivities were brought to us from a different time in musical history, the Jimi Anderson Group thoroughly and rather expertly fixated on the 80s. Stepping into the wardrobe of time was Sea of Tranquility’s Steven Reid.
