scheduled for release on Buzz Records on 18
November 2022. “Dave plays like he got his skin

EWAN MACFARLANE + Band with special
Guest to DANNY VAUGHN :: At Bannermans,
Edinburgh. Whether felt by the sold-out crowds
gathering to see Ewan Macfarlane and The Grim
Northern Social perform at King Tut’s Wah Wah
Hut over 3 consecutive nights for 2 years
running (simply through word of mouth due to
his loyal followers), festival-goers at T in the
Park, or right there, within the commotion of
that street in Austin, Ewan’s burgeoning
reputation is of a musician whose experience
matches his many miles travelled. In 2018,
Ewan MacFarlane played his final show as
frontman of his post GNS band Apollo 440 in
front of 30,000 fans in a sun-kissed Seville. Now
Ewan is back with a new solo album ‘MILK’ which
will prompt a greater discovery of one of
Scotland’s greatest cult talents. 2022 has
proved to be a benchmark year for MacFarlane
as his solo career continues to bloom.
