Hello folks!
I'm most excited to be recording the first Ross Couper Band album!
I've been playing the fiddle for around 28 years now and been lucky to have been doing it for a living for the past 15 or so. I normally play in a few different guises, one of the more well known ones being Peatbog Faeries. We've just released and album which has been received very well. It's now time for me to record a solo band album.
The story of the band begins back at Celtic Connections 2022. I was asked to compose and perform one of the New Voices series of concerts. The requirement was to write an hour of new music and perform it as part of the festival. It was one of the best experiences of my life and spurred me on to start my own band! On this album there will be most of the music I composed for that concert and a few familiar bangers as well!
The band consists of the amazing Michael Biggins (piano), Sam Mabbett (melodeon) and Paul Jennings (drums).
The studio is booked for December and I'm absolutely delighted to be recording at Gorbals Sound in Glasgow. Your preorder will help with some of the costs of recording an album.
These costs include but are not limited to - studio time, PR to promote the album, art work, manufacturing physical copies, licensing etc.
Available to pre-order here is a download or physical CDs signed or just as they go!
The plan is to have everything ready to be sent out to crowdfund contributors by the 1st March.
