Artist History Our first gig was at the Lemon Tree, Aberdeen 2001 before getting adopted by Sandy Brown landlord of the Blue Lamp pub in Aberdeen who gave us a residency playing every Wednesday over the year which pulled together our set. We recorded our debut album 'Jellytown' at the same time. This was originally going to be a demo but the performance and feedback was so good it seemed like a good idea to make an album. The rest is currently under review.
