Big Hand (Acoustic) New Album just out

About Me

Right it goes a little somthing like this: there is a whole bunch of stuff you can read about the roots of Big Hand and that's all very interesting at our main site. www.thebighand.co.uk...
However in the depths of Edinburgh for about a year now we've been sitting around with accoustic instruments making a sound that is a tad more soothing than the manic ska therapy the full live set offers. With out trying to sound all wanky this is kinda the organic way that songs come about and are worked out. It's also a chance for us to push boundrys a bit and use weird instruments and arangements... which we like doing.
Hope ya'll like it too :)

First show goes well....

 Well although it wasn't the most natural of settings. Our set in the cafe at the global village sounded rather spiffing (or so we've been told). Looking forward to doing it again. Hurrah L ...
