Following headline performances in ‘24 at Cambridge Folk Festival and Gate To Southwell with his nine-piece Caley Soul band as well as a sold out bravura show for Celtic Connections at Glasgow’s 1,400 cap Pavillion Theatre, Wilson has spent the last few months reconnecting with his roots in live club performance.
Touring solo, duo, or quartet in 2025, the shows have workshopped new songs for 2026’s new Blue Rose Code studio album. The direction of travel seems to be closer to the broad Scots Folk/Singer Songwriter style that brought him to work with the likes of Karine Polwart, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Ewan McGregor, to write for Steve Knightley, and open for heavyweights like Van Morrison, Deacon Blue and the Proclaimers.
In any combination; solo, duo, quartet, Big Caley Soul Band, Blue Rose Code simply has to be seen live.

After selling out Stirling last year, Amy Matthews returns with her brand-new tour Definitions of TOAST.
TOAST təʊst
(verb): Apply heat and impart irreversible change. Toast can’t be bread again.
(noun, informal): Something that’s finished / over, or doomed to be.
(noun): The act of honouring a sentiment by raising a glass, often to new beginnings.
Amy doesn’t get angry and she’s starting to feel left out, so she’s on a quest to feel fury; from what she can discern from the world around her, it appears to be all the rage… literally.
Amy is navigating the joy of her first queer relationship whilst dusting herself off from a string of several alcoholic partners. You’d think she’d have plenty to be cross about, and yet, whilst everyone seems to be more furious than ever, she just can’t seem to tap into her own anger – so she’s challenged herself to learn.
This lack of wrath may also have something to do with a processing lag that is becoming increasingly disruptive – and comical – in her life. Her emotions seemed to be delivered by carrier pigeon, if they arrive at all.
This is a show about being awarded Best Supporting Actor in your own life, the beauty of fully embracing queerness in your 30s, and the fact that anger may sometimes look more like nursery rhymes and crying on a bike than punching walls and shouting. It’s worth mentioning that alongside all this soul-searching, this show also tries to fathom why Amy’s mum has started keeping milk in the boot of her car, how a potion from 2002 may have cursed the world, and how a pavement stand-off with a bird became a wake-up call.
As seen on: Her 5-star special, I Feel Like I’m Made of Spider’ (ITVx), Comedy Central Live, Gifted (BBC) and BAFTA-winning Scot Squad.
As heard on: Off Menu, Dan Does Dating (BBC Radio 4), host of the official English Heritage podcast and writer for Have I Got News For You? (BBC One)
Tour support for: Ed Byrne, Josh Widdicombe, Suzi Ruffell, Tom Allen, Sarah Keyworth, Jason Manford, Tom Davis & Jessica Fostekew.

“Combining a relaxed charm with a searing wit, she makes the deeply personal feel like a universal truth.” (Rolling Stone)
