Shed Life was released on an
unsuspecting public in May 2012. We've a limited amount of the original pressing
left, so if you want one, order now!
"Spearheading a radical new wave of
Celtic-based dancefloor sounds, Sketch is the latest brainchild of ex-Peatbog
Faeries/Session A9 drummer and producer Iain Copeland, and the perfect
roof-raising act. With Iain on percussion and programming, the line-up also
features the stunning Gaelic vocals of Maeve MacKinnon, with fiddler Neil Ewart
and Steven Blake/Fraser Shaw on pipes and whistles and Chris Waite on guitar.
Self-styled as “traditional music for the 21st century”, Sketch splice inspired
instrumental and vocal work with powerhouse, live loops, beats and grooves. The
band’s freewheeling improvisational prowess offer an exciting and dynamic live
experience, as proved by several incendiary festival performances during summer
2011."
