About Me |
|
| 'This is important music and maybe the proudest thing I've been involved in.' ACEY SLADE (ex Trashlight Vision/Murderdolls) 'There's no mistaking the passion, the presence of dedication, or the obvious talent for brilliant song writing.... Hard edged compositions with more than a foot in the genre of punk rock but, and this is where the wonder lies, governed and sustained by the predominant guidance of the acoustic guitar' MUSIC NEWS SCOTLAND Billy Liar is a Scottish acoustic punk poet, who is on a one man mission to cling onto integrity and honesty in music. He sings up-tempo acoustic based anthems, about life, love, longing, falling out and falling down. He has gigged all over the UK, with bands such as Oi Polloi and UK Subs, and in 2007, was even asked personally by notorious American punk band, Amen, to join them on their UK tour. In 2006, he received the backing of Kenny MacDonald, the manager of The Proclaimers, and in 2007, he released his first EP, which included the track Come Back To Edinburgh, which has had plays on several major radio stations. In 2007, he also toured throughout the UK and France, with the Golden Hour (a Scottish poet/artist/musician collective, based at the Forest in Edinburgh), even performing at the famous Shakespeare and Company bookshop, in Paris, before busking outside long into the night, fuelled only by the cheap wine that kept flowing, and the cheers of the crowds that stood watching and singing along. He has just recorded his second EP, titled 'It Starts Here', and it is soon to be released. It was produced by Acey Slade (who sang and played guitar in Trashlight Vision, and played guitar in Murderdolls/Amen/Dope), and featured Robin Guy on drums (who has played with Faith No More/Amen/Lars Frederiksen/The Business/Rachel Stamp). Nick Mailing was the bassist and studio engineer (He has or is playing bass with Men Of Unitus, Sister Ray, The Smoking Hearts, The Ravines and The Quireboys, and has produced The Quireboys, Black Eyed Dog, Sister Ray and Trashlight Vision, amongst many others!).
