| The coloured dreams are Tam Cassidy and Kevin McGowan; they grew up and still live in the gritty working class area of Alloa and have been performing and writing together since they were 17. Although this duet has used various back line arrangements, they have endured through over 13 years of playing together which has seen them evolve into highly polished and professional multi talented, multi-instrumental, singers, composers and entertainers. But they are no overnight success, they have done the club circuit firstly in their home town, then other areas of Scotland, then England, in places such as the Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone and went on to tour Europe 3 times on a circular rout from Lille in the North of France to Nice and Antibes in the South, to Switzerland and Luxembourg through to Holland and Belgium. Over the last few years they have been finalists in many song-writing competitions including the Daily Records Big Break and the Falkirk Big Day event. The current line up has Martin Bond on bass and Alan Huntley on drums, both are seasoned musicians that have played in many bands with lots of experience behind them. After the first practice they all knew this was the beginning of something special, the music fell into place straight away. They are now going to take there songs and show on the road, they are also going to record some more songs, Tam and Kev have been writing since they first got together so they have a backlog of songs to work with. These guys are at their most comfortable in life when they are on stage and pour every ounce of their emotion into live performances in a way that makes the audience feel their passion for what they do. They perform together in a manner that can only be accounted to the work they have put in through the years. They have chemistry between them that others try to emulate but which can only be something one is born with, all this mixed with their humour and their charm and you have the coloured dreams. |
