Bio
Boxclub is a band featuring four of the best young accordion players in Scotland with a great backing band comprising guitar, double bass and drums. .. .. .. Gary Innes, John Somerville, Mairearad Green ..and ..Angus Lyon.. all met through the vibrant Glasgow music scene and have a shared appreciation of the wonders of the accordion. Gary, Mairearad and John came upon the idea while teaching at a residential music week in the Highlands. They all saw the opportunity to showcase the versatility of the accordion along with the vibrancy and energy of the Scottish music scene. Each with their own distinctive style of playing, the accordionists saw it as a challenge to create a new and original sound. .. .. All members of the band have played at venues and festivals all over the world and worked with bands and artists such as Paul Macartney, David Byrne, Cat Stevens, Karine Polwart, Salsa Celtica, Dochas, Flook, Brolum, the Gary Innes band, Croft No Five and the Anna Massie band. .. .. Box Club’s music draws much from the members traditional roots as well as their vast musical influences and experiences of recent years. A lot of the music is self composed and features everything from driving reels to lovely Scottish airs.
