A new band - Ramshackle - formed by experienced vocals man Tommy Rae with several good young musicians, has just recorded a four track demo CD to announce their availability for gigs from November onwards.

In addition to Tommy, band members are: 19 year-old Raymond Quinn on lead guitar; Raymond’s 15 year-old brother Paul Quinn on drums; Thomas Rae, Tommy’s 16 year-old son, on rhythm guitar; and 18 year-old Mark Macintyre on bass guitar. Mark normally plays rhythm but delivered on bass to oblige Tommy.

Raymond, Paul and Mark have their own band - Black Shuck - with a record of gigs in Glasgow at clubs King Tuts and The Barrowlands.

Tommy describes their retro-ish music as ‘white boy electric blues’. They’re focusing mainly on covers with a twist just now, but will move to original material soon. The four tracks on the demo CD are: Let’s Work Together; Walkin’ the Dog; Mercedes Benz (Tommy singing a capella); and Talk to Me, which we feature here.

The band’s company, Ramshackle Productions, produced the demo disc at Mid Argyll’s Jam and would like to acknowledge that support.

Ramshackle can be contacted through Tommy Rae at 01546 606755 or by email at: ramshackle13@hotmail.com
