Auld Reekie String Band

‘Our band formed out of a shared community in the Edinburgh folk scene. We came together in 2018 in the musician's corner of the Royal Oak and discovered we had a shared passion for Oldtime folk music from the Appalachian mountains of the southern U.S. We soon discovered other mutual influences in punk and metal and a shared vision was born.

We began our career as a band playing sessions around Edinburgh and busking on the streets of the old town - some of the best times of our lives and something that we still enjoy at any opportunity. This soon progressed on to a fruitful career playing festivals around Scotland and the rest of the UK.

In these early years we focused on establishing a unique sound - something that people hadn't heard before. Blending our love for the Oldtime repertoire with our interest and experiences in the punk scene, we crafted our own punkified, foot-stomping DIY sound. We seek to capture the spirit of porch jams and barn dances and infuse it with the essence of a squat show.

Robin Adams 

‘More commonly found in folk territory inhabited by Bert Jansch, John Martyn and the likes, Wrong Road Home (due for release on Holy Smokes Records DECEMBER 2021) sees Robin Adams take a somewhat unexpected detour from his usual route. Drawing inspiration from some of his favourite songwriters, this record sees Adams channel his American songwriting heroes from the story telling of Hank Williams to the eerie atmospheres of Michael Hurley. The record has won acclaim and extensive airplay on BBC Radio Scotland's Ricky Ross, Roddy Hart & Iain Anderson shows and more.

Robyn Smith 

‘Robyn Smith, a singer-songwriter from Dunfermline, Scotland, finds inspiration in the folk and country genres, crafting music deeply rooted in Americana. Her EP, 'Muse', is available for purchase and streaming on all major platforms.’
