Colette McKendrick

Barfly, April 1st

It’s been a busy few months for Glasgow’s favourite songstress Colette McKendrick. Some international radio coverage; spending a fair old while on top of the download classical charts; and organising an intimate showcase for females in music – all in a day’s work!

But let us not forget the music. Tonight’s show is a timely reminder of Colette and her band’s passion for playing live, and holy sh*t are they going for it! Opening with new track ‘The Boss’ the band is truly firing on all cylinders. Even the usually gentle psychedelic strummer Arthur Izat breaks a string - it’s a fair sign of things to come.

Continuing to carve up the stage with Kangaroo and Colour it’s only in preparation for debut single Peter Pan’s Biggest Fan that the band seems to pause for breath. Proving once again to be a highlight of the set this song should reveal its worth as the forthcoming debut single from Etheria.

It’s a testament to Glasgow music that crowds will gather for bands of true quality – and Colette’s crowd gets bigger every time.
