Hot off the heels of a sold out Celtic Connections show in Glasogw, Valtos and Project Smok are ready to take their crossover to the nations capital, alongside some friends.Valtos:
"UP AND COMING ARTIST OF THE YEAR - SCOTS TRAD AWARDS, 2022"
Valtos are a ‘Scottish-Electronic’ duo comprised of Isle of Skye natives Martyn MacDonald and Daniel Docherty, who embarked on their Journey after being inspired by fellow Skye bands the Peatbog Faeries and Niteworks at Skye Live, 2019.
Valtos tour as a full band including Eilidh, Euan, and Lana. This brings a breadth of experience and energy to the Valtos live show which resulted in the performances across Scotland during 2022, from the world famous King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, to Tiree Music Festival, and ultimately resulted in the band winning 'Up and Coming Artist of the Year' at the Scots Trad Awards, 2022.
"They incorporate an array of exciting features on tracks that sound like nothing you have heard before" - Folk Radio UK
Project Smok:
Project Smok is the neo-trad trio of Ali Levack, Ewan Baird and Pablo Lafuente, whose nonconformist and progressive Scottish traditional music has set them apart since their formation in 2017.
Known for their ability to effortlessly blend trad music with contemporary new-age pop influences, Project Smok are at their most comfortable pushing boundaries, making listeners stop and re-evaluate their musical expectations. They do away with any perceived limits of genre from the first note.
The close-knit group meld naturally between the innovative, explosive and emotive, drawing outside inspiration from indie pop acts like The 1975, LANY and Bon Iver, to more time-honoured, West Coast styles of playing.
“You will simply not hear a better group for sheer, unadulterated virtuosity...” - MNPR Magazine
