The Stormy Seas are an Edinburgh six-piece, featuring guitar, bass drums, banjo, melodica, squeezebox and fiddle. There’s a strong Scottish folk tradition at work in their music, with old sea shanties rubbing shoulders with more modern styles. It’s clear that they’re very respectful of tradition but also keen to usurp it and create something completely new with a bit of that punk spirit.
‘The Stormy Seas play pretty aggressive traditional Scottish folk music. And they play it really well. … a thoroughly rousing and enjoyable start to the night. And the interplay of the vocals – I’ve just been raving about My Latest Novel and how they do it – well the 2 vocals are an essential ingredient to this bands set up. Definitely ones to watch this year’ (The Steinberg Principle)
