Stornoway are off on tour at the end of this month in support of their forthcoming album Bonxie, which is out on 13th April. It’s named after a Scottish seabird and the record is littered with bird calls from 20 different species, referencing frontman Brian Briggs’ PhD in Ornithology.
FFS had the chance to catch the album showcase in London last night, and were bowled over by the energy of the album, and swooned to two harmony-laden acoustic songs. We heartily recommend that you catch the band on one of the following dates:
