OVER their 10 years The Bevvy Sisters have become a recognised home for great singers and songwriters.
And now the harmony soul singers, who have built a devoted and growing fan base in Scotland and further afield, are about to release their third album, entitled This Moment.
Famed for their genre hopping, this record allows the individuality of each vocalist to shine while still retaining the unmistakable trademark Bevvy sound as they share their uncanny musical empathy.
“‘Time is money’ is a saying often heard in the studio setting, and it’s true,” says says Heather Macleod, who along with Gina Rae, Louise Murphy and David Donnelly, makes up the Bevvy Sisters.
“We had 10 years to reflect upon and a new album to record. We didn’t have money but we did have songs, a brilliant producer, studio gear, a beautiful house to make ourselves at home to record in and time to spend.
“We had such a great time making this because we had time. Time afforded us the album we could not have afforded to make in a studio.
“This album unraveled itself to look at, funnily enough, time. We had a multitude of moments around the kitchen table.”
The band will celebrate the launch of the album with a special gig at Edinburgh’s Queen’s Hall on June 28.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
