About Me

The Viragoes
There are bands...and there are bands...and then there are the Viragoes.
From the badlands of Clydebank where nothing moves as far as the eye can see, except maybe a solitary wino searching for an off licence that takes milk tokens.
They tell stories about the Viragoes...afterhours, in the call centre hells and the high street chain gang stores. Stories of outlaw violins and gypsy guitars. Stories of hard men and harder women, and eerie harmonies echoing down the trail of broken hearts and empty Buckie bottles they leave behind them.
Somewhere in the distance a lonely drug dealer howls for his mate...
...it's wild country...
...Viragoes country.
The Viragoes have recently launched their self-financed debut album, "Cheap Shoes & Lies".


The Viragoes are
Louise King - Vocals & Guitar
Lee-ann Carline - Vocals & Mandolin
Kevin Canning - Guitar & Fiddle
Craig Rae - Bass guitar
Alistair Ross - Drums
