Chris Thomson and Callum McNair from The Bathers

This gig is a stripped down DUO version of the band the Bathers..not the full band.

Glaswegian singer/songwriter Chris Thomson created The Bathers following the break-up of Friends Again in 1984, immediately prior to the release of their debut album, Trapped and Unwrapped.

Motivated to create music that would stand the test of time, Chris proceeded to quietly create and release seven albums of beautifully crafted, cinematic pop. Kelvingrove Baby and Pandemonia (about to be re-issued as a double album) are considered to be amongst his best work and The Bathers’ latest release, Sirenesque, finally gave Chris a charting album.

For this performance, Chris and his long-time collaborator, Callum McNair, will be playing as a duo and will feature songs from Sirenesque, as well as live favourites from The Bathers’ back catalogue.

The music press has struggled to find a convenient phrase to describe the sound of The Bathers, but 1970s era Bowie, Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Van Morrison are often referenced.

“The Bathers are literate, expressive and romantic- which in a tough town like Glasgow is pretty much the most rebellious thing you can be.” Scott Rowley, Louder
