Justin Currie
Justin who will be appearing with his full band The Justin Currie Band fronted Del Amitri in the eighties and as a songwriter, he co-wrote many of the Del Amitri tracks with Iain Harvie, with some of their most successful songs have been tracks penned solely by Justin.
Del Amitri had great success with the hits “Nothing Ever Happens”, “Roll To Me”, Kiss This Thing Goodbye” and “Always The Last To Know”.
In 2003 he fronted the soul and jazz covers band Button Up for a short tour of Scotland together with The Proclaimers guitarist Stuart Nisbet and drummer Ross McFarlane - who also played with chart-toppers Stiltskin - bassist Gary John Kane and keyboard player Andy May.
From 2004 - 2006 Currrie has regularly joined singer songwriters Eddi Reader and Colin McIntyre (aka Mull Historical Society) and Scottish folk band Blazin' Fiddles to perform in Scotland as part of the project "With Strings Attached".
In 2004 Currie also teamed up with Kevin and Jim McDermott (of Simple Minds) to record A Terrible Beauty, a semi-comedy 60's pastiche rock album which they released anonymously under the name The Uncle Devil Show.
Recently he has toured as both successful solo artist and with his full band, last year releasing his latest solo CD "What Is Love For" to critical acclaim.
