Overview

Adam Stafford

Falkirk based musician/filmmaker/photographer Adam Stafford issues his sixteenth solo album (under his own name) entitled `Prilitex’, an abbreviation of “Private Little Exorcisms” or “Extractions/Excursions/Ecstasies”.

Recorded as a co-production with Neil Pennycook of Meursault and regular collaborator Robbie Lesiuk the LP sees Stafford return to the song/ lyric-based material of his acclaimed solo albums `Build a Harbour Immediately’ (2011), `Imaginary Walls Collapse’ (2013) and `Diamonds of a Horse Famine’ (2020), inviting collaborations from vocalist/violinist Robyn Dawson (also Meursault), Ceylan Hay (Bell Lungs) and drummer Sean Mitchell (Lloyd’s House) as well as contributions from both Pennycook on keyboards/bowed banjo and Lesiuk on bass and guitar.

The result is an eleven track collection of some of Stafford’s strongest and melodically tight compositions to date, many flying under the 4-minute mark and incorporating a myriad of styles and influences.

 

Meursault (Solo)

Based in East Lothian, Neil/Meursault has developed over the years from his scratchy, lo-fi beginnings to become one of Scotland’s most unique, contemporary voices. Meursault plays Guitar, Piano, Banjo, Synth, sampler & Drum Machine.

 

 

John Henry

John Henry is the solo guise of Lanarkshire singer-songwriter Martin John Henry. Henry cut his songwriting teeth in the band De Rosa who released three critically acclaimed albums on Glasgow’s Chemikal Underground and Rock Action labels between 2006-2016. He has since released solo albums “The Other Half of Everything” and “Strange Is The Way” on Gargleblast Records. Henry has collaborated with Malcolm Middleton, King Creosote, Barry Burns of Mogwai, author Michel Faber and renowned harper and composer Gillian Fleetwood. He is currently in Whin – a duo project with Life Without Buildings guitarist Robert Dallas Gray – and sings in the Scottish electronic pop group Jewel Scheme. “Early Songs, Of Late” – a new album of reworked versions of his early De Rosa material was released in early 2026.
