Bevvy Sisters

Bevvy Sisters


The Bevvy Sisters produce harmonies last heard “when men had shooters under their suits and women on their arms” (Scotland on Sunday).

Combining the vocal styles eminent in swing, Americana, jazz, country and barbershop, Heather Macleod, Lindsey Black and Kaela Rowan are swiftly re-inventing the Scottish vocal trio and becoming a must-see act, earning a host of outstanding reviews and praise on the way. Backed by acoustic guitar, drums and bass guitar, the group produce “the silkiest, sultriest, sauciest harmonies ever likely to caress your ears” (Sue Wilson, folk music critic).

Ahead of releasing their debut album, St James Sessions, at this year’s Celtic Connections, in January, the group had already received a tide of advanced radio airplay within both Scotland and the UK, including airings on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Scotland, Celtic Music Radio and The Jazz Café. During the week of its launch, St James Sessions was also featured as album of the week on Radio Nan Gaidheal.

Following the release, things are looking very promising for the Sisters’ 2010; four star reviews of both the album and live concert were followed by the Celtic Connections’ artistic director, Donald Shaw, including them in his highlights of the three-week long festival. The Scotsman hailed their live set as one that “started off at excellent, progressed swiftly to stunning, and fetched up as positively spectacular”.
