The Cords
After the panel discussions, the panel will join The Cords on stage for a special set. The Inverclyde music scene has had its fair share of hit bands over the years…the area has always punched well above its weight. Now it’s the turn of the next generation and leading the way are The Cords. Grace and Eva are two sisters brought (even closer) together through their shared love for groups like The Pastels, The Umbrellas, The Vaselines, BMX Bandits, Shop Assistants…you get the picture. They have racked up some impressive support slots (including The Vaselines, Carla J Easton and The Umbrellas). Their debut single Bo’s New Haircut/Rather Not Stay - recorded by Simon Liddell (Frightened Rabbit, Poster Paints) and Jonny Scott (CHVRCHES), and featuring Carla J Easton on keys – sold out in hours.
“The Cords make the best pop music you'll ever hear, inspired by all the groups you already love.”
Postcards From Scotland is published on 20th June and you can get a signed copy on the night.
