PAPER SPARROWS
Fresh from a summer of sold out shows, join roots folk/americana trio Paper Sparrows this November.
Formed in 2018, Scotland’s roots folk/Americana trio Paper Sparrows bring together roots folk, americana and a touch of Scottish trad with a contemporary approach with their twin-guitar lines, double bass and close harmonies. Amongst festival performances at Celtic Connections, Ely Folk Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe and FolkEast, a recent highlight was being invited to represent the Scottish folk music scene at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 2024.
Following shows and the realease of their debut EP and album, the band were described as 'highly recommended' by Celtic Connections and as having 'infectious' songwriting by AmericanaUK. Shindig! Magainze said the band has “a bright future” and a “rich songwriting craft”. RnR Magazine said “the epithet ‘debut album’ belies the depth of skill and experience behind of the band members”.
The band comprise David Hershaw on lead vocals and guitar, Ross Fairbairn with intricate lead guitar and vocals and Colin Morris on double bass and vocals. A tight group, the 3 members write together and shape each new composition using lead guitar lines or vocal melodies at its root before building in other instrumentation and the all-important harmonies. Lyrics, a big part of the band, are folk story based or using social commentary.
