Machar granite has been through a few changes in Jan/Feb. Most significantly, machar granite is now a three piece with drums and bass being ably provided by Dave Armstrong and Ian “Jacko” Jack respectively. One or two of you may have seen the first outing of the new lineup at the Lot last week.

We are headlining the new (and hopefully fairly regular fixture) Audrey Music Group night in Henry’s Cellar Bar on Thursday 26th Feb. It promises to be a great night with Susannah McDonald, Hannah O’Reilly and special guest Peter Michael Rowan completing a heefty bill.

Machar Granite’s new live 3-track ep recorded at AMG hq (the sass den) is now available to purchase at the princely sum of £3 at our forthcoming shows. You can hear a preview of ‘broc’ in the music section.
