Tolbooth Café Concerts – Hector Shaw

Emerging Scottish artist Hector Shaw is unafraid of tackling heavy songwriting topics like self-sabotage, mental illness, and the fabrication of social media. He has drawn favourable comparisons to the likes of John Martyn, combining captivating, warm vocals with intricate guitar work that features a rich palette of chordal colours.

Hector released his debut EP Gravity in 2021, garnering radio play on BBC Radio Scotland, features in publications like the National and Folk Radio UK, and placements on a plethora of Spotify playlists.
