Since the Sluts of Trust first unleashed their wildly original brand of sleazy rock music to an unsuspecting audience at King Tut's on New Year's Eve 2002, they have become something of a phenomenon in their home town of Glasgow. Comprising John McFarlane's salacious lyrics of sexual combat and skuzzy, roller-coaster guitar-work and the incessant ferocity of Roo Harris' athletic drumming, the band's blistering performances command an immediate and intense response. Following a UK tour and dates in Europe, the band released a limited edition debut single which sold out in a week.

The Tannahill Weavers are a popular band who perform traditional Scottish music. They are notable for being one of the first popular bands to incorporate the sound of the Great Highland Bagpipe (the Highland bagpipes are primarily a solo instrument) in an ensemble setting, and in doing so helped to change the sound of Scottish traditional music. The band was formed in 1968 and released their first album in 1976. As of this writing, in 2005, they continue to tour and release new recordings. They are named after Scottish poet Robert Tannahill and have recorded several of his songs.

They provide driving drumming and some rather lofty pipe playing!
