The Bathers with special guests

The Bathers returned in triumphant style last year with widespread acclaim for their 8th studio album “Sirenesque” released on the Last Night From Glasgow label.

The regular line-up of Chris Thomson, Hazel Morrison, Callum McNair and Nico Bruce are augmented by the Sirenesque String Quartet featuring Kobus Frick, Esté Visser, Rachel Davis and Maya Burman-Roy for this performance of the entire Sirenesque album.

In addition to performing the latest album the band will perform a selection of songs from their back catalogue as well as some classic Friends Again tracks.

After releasing the “Trapped & Unwrapped” album in 1984 with the lauded Glasgow band Friends Again, Chris Thomson founded The Bathers and embarked on a decades long career producing albums such as “Kelvingrove Baby” and “Pandemonia” which featured collaborations from the talents of Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), James Grant, Neil Clark (Commotions), Justin Currie (Del Amitri).
