There is no pigeon hole for Lucida Scroll. They just play original songs that are fun to play and even more fun to listen to. Covering subjects from Love, to politics, from celebrity culture to an epic 12 minute song about a mad doctor, there is something to like about Lucida Scroll, whatever your taste! Having been together since late 2010, Lucida Scroll already have a UK tour this April/May. They have spent most of the last few months holed up in the studio, writing and honing their songs, and playing a series of warm up shows.

To call James Yorkston a folk singer is to miss the point by some distance and the fact that among his influences he lists Can, Jacques Brel and Linton Kwesi Johnson tells you something about the diverse and innovative approach he brings to the form. One review of his first album, with backing group the Athletes, Moving Up Country stated “James Yorkston is the real deal” and that simple judgement says a lot more than any attempt to classify or describe his work.
