CONSTANT FOLLOWER Thursday 30th March BUY TICKETS HERE

Self-describing as soaring-ambient-dreampop-experimental-folk, Constant Follower is the band formed around songwriter McAll and have picked up plays from tastemakers on BBC6 Music, Radio Scotland, KEXP, WFMU and Folk Radio.

As a teenager, the frontman survived an attack by a gang that left him with a catastrophic head injury and every memory of his childhood gone. The next decade was spent in a cabin on Scotland’s western coastline, where he eventually began composing again.

The result is a childhood imagined against a backdrop that, like the sea, is as serene as it is wild; ever-changing, yet resolute.

“Instantly compelling, memorable and moving” – Folk Radio.
