What we look like on stage
Friday, April 03, 2009
Look, here’s us on stage at the Caves in Edinburgh a few months ago, playing a song from our new album, out later this year. Andrew is still wishing he hadn’t worn those trousers. (The song is called This Club Is For Everybody, Even You, by the way, not This Club is For Everyone. We didn’t write the caption)
Swimmer One play Largs
Sunday, March 22, 2009
At last, we are going to perform our song Largs Hum in Largs - or rather just outside it. In June, we can announce, we will play brand new festival The Garden Party, at Kelburn Castle in Largs, along with The Bays, James Yorkston, Found, A Band Called Quinn and many more. There’s a full list of acts at the festival website.
Two live shows
Sunday, March 01, 2009
THURSDAY 19 MARCH - The Buff Club, Bath Lane, Glasgow. Swimmer One are guests of A Band Called Quinn at the launch of their excellent new album. There will be cabaret performers too. It’ll be a lot of fun. You can buy advance tickets at www.tickets-scotland.com.
THURSDAY 14 MAY - Carnegie Hall, East Port, Dunfermline. Swimmer One play the annual Tigerfest extravaganza in the distinguished company of Found and Cruiser.
Hope to see you there. More shows to be announced soonish.

Things might be a little quiet for a short while, but after that they will get much louder. We have two projects currently on the go…

August live show - CANCELLED
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
Steve Mason has cancelled his gig at the Edge festival in Edinburgh on Sunday. So clearly we won’t be supporting him any more. Boo.
If you were planning to go out in Edinburgh that night, we can recommend Neue Liebe, a special festival edition of the Edinburgh cabaret night, which we recently headlined, full of Fringe performers.
We’ll announce new live dates soon, hopefully.

FREE Edinburgh show, 17 July
Sunday, June 29, 2008
Swimmer One are playing a FREE live show in Edinburgh as part of Cabaret Voltaire’s Duty Free series of gigs. This is likely to be our last live outing until the autumn. The other two bands are Sellotape and Fangs. Hope to see some of you there.
You can see lots of pics from our recent live shows at the Swimmer One Myspace page. Someone has also posted a very wobbly but quite entertaining clip of us performing Cloudbusting on stage in Edinburgh on YouTube. You can watch it here.
