DHM Concerts presents ... GEORGIA CÉCILE
(Official Album Launch Concert ) :: At Queen's
Hall, Edinburgh. 7.30pm. Doors and Bar 6.30pm.
Georgia is one of Scotland's most exciting new
musical prospects at the forefront of the new wave of
UK jazz talents. Tipped as ‘One To Watch’ by BBC
Introducing and Jazzwise Magazine, Cécile’s stock has
been rising on the strength of her captivating live
performances and song writing partnership with
award-winning pianist/composer Euan Stevenson.
With recent performances at Celtic Connections and
The Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival she is fast
becoming a UK Festival favourite. This special concert
will mark the launch of her highly anticipated debut
album “Only The Lover Sings” showcasing a set of
exquisitely crafted original songs from the album,
fusing classic jazz and soul influences reminiscent of
Duke Ellington and Nancy Wilson with a contemporary
cinematic pop edge in the vein of Gregory Porter,
Melody Gardot and Celeste. Co-written and arranged
with Stevenson, the songs are vivid sensorial
landscapes - poetic reflections on themes of love, loss,
nurture and spiritual growth. Cécile will be joined by
her all-star band, including Stevenson on piano,
Andrew Robb on bass and Max Popp on drums,
alongside a lush string quartet and vivacious horn
section. Tickets £21 plus BF - Students, Children,
Unwaged £10 plus BF on 0131 668 2019 or at

23 SEPTEMBER
BOW ANDERSON :: At Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh.
Edinburgh's Bow Anderson has unveiled her beautiful
new single, ‘Hate That I Fell In Love With You’, which
is available now. This is the fast-rising Scottish pop
star’s first new music since debut EP ‘New Wave’ - and
breakout single ‘Sweater’ - which picked up early
support across Radio 1 and Apple Music 1, saw Bow
named one of Vevo's Ones to Watch, went top 20 on
Spotify's Viral Charts and led to Anderson’s first TV
appearances on the likes of Children In Need. Bow has
also announced shows at Edinburgh’s Sneaky Pete’s
on 22nd September and London’s Courtyard on 7th
October. Listen to ‘Hate That I Fell In Love With You’.
‘Hate That I Fell In Love With You’ is a haunting ballad
as indebted to the raw soul tradition Bow was raised
on as it is the sparse, stripped-back world of early
Adele. An emotive portrait of what it’s like to fall out
of love with someone (“a pretty shit situation, isn’t it?”
Bow says with a wry smile), the accompanying video
“is set in a house throughout the rooms where we
shared those memories. Seeing the good times
contrasted with the more delicate moments really
highlights the heartbreak. It made me cry the first
time I watched it because it honestly replicates what I
went through, and I hope it is relatable to others in a
similar experience.”

ECHO MACHINE :: At Sneaky Petes, Edinburgh. A
loud Pop Group from Dundee, and they have gigs!
"They will be a flippin' hoot!" Echo Machine played the
King Tut's Summer Nights Festival in 2019. In addition
to performing live, the band released a number of
singles in their first year together, many of which
arrived with accompanying videos. Debut single St
Elmo was followed by Vibrations, Chameleon and
Automatic Love, the latter being reviewed as a
'bruising, belter of a song'. In addition to these
videos, Echo Machine collaborated with Thai singer
Janine Alissa Wollmann on a cover of the Billie Eilish
track Bad Guy, producing an accompanying music
video. Their single 'Headlights' was also wellreviewed,
being described as 'infectious discowave'.
The success of the band in 2019 prompted BBC radio
presenter, Vic Galloway, to name the band as one of
his 25 Scottish Artists to Watch in 2020. In January
2020 the band announced that their debut album
would be called Instant Transmissions.
