Headline – Tristan MacKay
Starting out playing his songs on the streets of Leeds in West Yorkshire, Tristan was quickly noticed by the powers that be and has been featured on ‘Skins’ for C4, ‘Good Morning’ on BBC Radio 2, and BBC 3’s ’Don’t Tell The Bride.’
He has been featured in Stage magazine and Computer Music Magazine as an artist to watch, and in 2011 his song ‘Be all that you can be’ was chosen as the soundtrack to World Duty Free’s summer campaign in several of the UK’s biggest airports.
Having independently released two EP’s under the moniker ‘The Bedroom Orchestra’, he began work on his debut album with Grammy award winning producer Martin Levan.
Featuring a fantastic line up of musicians, including organ cameos from Paul Carrack and keyboards from John Garden of ‘Scissor Sisters’, the album ‘Out along the wire’ was released in Feb 2012 and went straight to no 1 on the I-tunes Blues album chart.
It has been widely acclaimed by critics, who have compared Tristan variously to Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton and John Mayer.
