"The Check are f**kin' tops" - Fraser McEwan

About Me

We are 'The Check'. We were formed in the summer of 2006. We consist of: Calum McConnell, Craig Forbes, Sean Bermingham, and Andrew Hutcheson. We are a young four piece Indie-Alternative band. All material is our own, mostly written by Craig. We have played many venues across the Highlands and look to further our travels. We have played Ironworks, Strathpeffer Pavillion, Hootanannys, and Downtown to name a few. Recently we have recorded a few songs at Highland Alternative Music Studios in Dingwall. An EP is hoped to be released in the near future. Unfortunately we missed out on entering GoNorth this year but hope to play at Belladrum, and maybe again at the Ironworks.
