“The lines” are a group of 15 and 16 year<br />
old boys who all attend <strong>Gryffe</strong> High School in<br />
Houston. The band members are Michael<br />
Macgee (Houston, drums, guitar and vocals)<br />
Harry Gallacher (Bridge of Weir, guitar and<br />
vocals) Marc Sermani (Lochwinnoch, guitar) and Matthew Kennedy (base<br />
guitar).<br />
Their latest gig at Callum’s Cavern Paisley on Saturday 20th October was a<br />
huge success. With around 130 paying fans attending. Which apparently was<br />
one of the busiest nights at that venue. As well as many more watching live<br />
on Facebook.<br />
All money made from the gig is going towards recording their fi rst ever demo.<br />
They played a set of 20 songs. Most of which were their own songs. Their next<br />
gig is at Ivory Blacks in Glasgow on 15th <strong>November</strong> 20<strong>18</strong>.<br />
