Blue Rose Code come into 2025 with a fresh wind in their sails. The last year saw sparkling reviews in the national press for award winning album, 'Bright Circumstance', radio play on BBC R2 & R6 as well as an appearance on the R4 institution 'Loose Ends'.
Folk album of the year with 5-stars in the Scotsman, their song 'Sadie' nominated for Song Of The Year at the Americana awards, a headline Sunday night closing slot at the legendary Cambridge Folk Festival, 2024 was a great year. Adding to that, Ross Wilson is now an in demand co-writer, with one of his songs written with legend Steve Knightley appearing on Knightley's brand new record.
The plan for this year is to take duo shows out across the UK and Ireland, to smaller venues, workshopping songs for a new record and performing music from the BRC canon.
Just read the quotes, they're no joke, from The Times, Uncut, The Spectator. No gimmicks here. No smoke and mirrors and no mistake. In the words of Americana UK - 'One of the country’s best live acts right now! Get out and see them wherever you can!'
‘A set of almost religious intensity and sincerity. Wilson makes widescreen soul in the spirit of Van Morrison, and was full of the holy fire of live performance.’ – The Times
‘Ravishingly beautiful, a burnished blaze of Caledonian Soul, muted jazz and poetic recitation’ – UNCUT
‘Jubilant, prayerful, compassionate, Caledonian soul maestro Ross Wilson’s latest iteration of his Blue Rose Code band sees his songs bursting with heart’ – The Scotsman
‘An expert ensemble, led by Edinburgh singer-songwriter Ross Wilson, brought the spontaneity and informality of an after-hours pub session to the Pavilion Theatre. The effect was both stirring and meditative.’ – The Spectator
John Deery: Thought-provoking Acoustic Folk Anthems
Intimate, heartfelt and poetic — John Deery’s lyrics and melodies brim with meaning and heartfelt storytelling.
With several critically acclaimed albums as the band “John Deery and The Heads’, John performs St Augustine’s Church in a rare solo acoustic show playing fan favourites like “The Raven”, “Jealousy” and “Just Kids” as well as some new material from the band’s upcoming new album.
John’s music has captivated audiences for many years and will support Blue Rose Code with an intimate solo acoustic performance.
