Archie & Ferester head to The Hug for an intimate folky-joint headline show, with support from Finn Brodie!

He may be young but music flows out of 20-year-old Scottish singer-songwriter archie. His first release, the lyrical & melodic ‘Everything She Does Is Beautiful’, features in his new four track EP ‘Our Little Secret’, largely produced by Jay Weathers (Not3s, Mr Eazi, Jacob Banks) & mixed by John Foyle (Years & Years, Kali Uchis, Ibeyi). You may have first heard archie on the Drum & Bass track ‘Nicotine’ which he wrote & sang for DJ/Producer Goddard in 2021. 11 million streams later, archie sang it live at the sold-out Tobacco Docks festival to over 2000 fans. In August 2022, he played his own debut show at the legendary King Tut’s where Alan McGee first saw Oasis. archie took up piano at age 5, playing 11 instruments by the time he won a place at Scotland’s National Music School studying classical piano & singing – and jazz piano, guitar & voice at the Royal Conservatoire. He performed at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall & London’s Royal Albert Hall before switching to pop where his heart now lies. ‘I started writing pop & jazz songs around age 14. I would post little videos of me singing on TikTok & Instagram alongside little comedy skits and in the space of a year my TikTok followers grew from 0 to 500K. This gave me the confidence to go professional, playing iconic Scottish venues such as King Tut’s, Barrowlands & Glasgow Green.’ Now with ‘Our Little Secret’, archie’s finding his voice and ready to take centre stage. Watch out world, here he comes.

Ferester is the moniker of Scottish-American artist, Spencer O'Grady. Hailing from the sleepy town of Chapel of Garioch, nestled in the Scottish countryside where snow-capped hills carry birds' songs in a magically serene synthesis of peace and nature, Ferester's music transports the listener to a similarly infused world that exists in the boundary between folk and pop.
