So ruddy bloody brave...............

About Me

When two life long friends come together and add in two neighbourhood musicians to form a band, you know there is an immediate bond created, simply due to shared experiences. Two years down the line, Kemy, Matty, Murphy and Dave are ready to take their message to the world. The Ads are simply a four piece band from the outskirts of Glasgow getting down to some serious musical invention.

Managment - Keren @ Big Life Management
Bookings- Ross @ Primary Talent
