Sat 17 May 2014

Blue Rose Code returns to Glasgow for the Scottish launch party of his second album, The Ballads Of Peckham Rye. He is joined by his band and support from MG Boulter.

Blue Rose Code is not folk music. Or so he’s been told. However, Ross Wilson, the Edinburgh-born songwriter ‘s new album, co produced with Alex Pilkington, features a remarkable roll call of musicians from the folk side of the fence, including Karine Polwart, Lau’s Aidan O’Rourke, Mattie Foulds, and Rachel Newton from The Furrow Collective.

The Ballads of Peckham Rye also features two of the Scottish jazz scene’s supreme talents in trumpeter Colin Steele and pianist Dave Milligan and on bass, two bona-fide legends, the unclassifiable but unutterably classy Danny Thompson and prog-master John Wetton.

Moving on from 2013’s debut, Blue Rose Code’s second offering is a richer, warmer album, influenced by Ross’ time in Nashville with the estimable Bob Harris and the BBC and a yearning for reconciliation with the ghosts of his past in his home town, Auld Reekie.
