quickbeam band

Quickbeam are named after a type of tree (the Rowan family, green-geeks), a tree that apparently has positive influence over the negative and is sacred to those who worship it (in mythological language anyway). It seems a fitting moniker for this duo, Monika and Drew, from Glasgow and Aberdeen. They have performed at Glasgow

Their stunning live performances and debut 'RED DOT' EP have earned them a reputation as one of Glasgow's best kept secrets. Comparisons to compatriots Mogwai have been drawn, but this association has made it difficult for them to distinguish themselves as a new and unique talent. The band have performed with the likes of Belle & Sebastien, !!! (chk chk chk) and Schneider TM.

Eric Bogle

Scotland's greatest living Australian. Or the other way around, depending on how you look at it. Born in Peebles, Scotland, and emigrating to Australia in 1969, he currently resides near Adelaide, South Australia. Written in 1972, And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda is perhaps his best-known song, being a haunting evocation of the ANZAC experience fighting in the Battle of Gallipoli. It has also been interpreted as a reaction to the Vietnam War.
