Two-thousand and nine was quite a year for Edinburgh’s Dan Wilson AKA Withered Hand, culminating with the release of his first album on SL Records in September.  Recorded by legendary US producer Kramer no less. Ooft. A beautifully crafted, poignant & slightly depraved collection of tales it is too, something those who caught a fleeting glimpse of him supporting Broken Records in Drummonds last year will testify to.  Check the video courtesy of Forest of Black below which features earlier King Creosote-produced song ‘No Cigarettes’  backing footage from last year’s Fence Records Halloween Weekender. It works.

Being, as this is, an unplugged show, there’s an intriguing stripped-down set from Aberdonian Debutant (now of Meursault) on offer as support.  As an added bonus, co-promoters Interesting Music and Vocoustics are donating any profits from the show to the I Heart UTG campaign (you may have noticed lots about the Union Terrace debate on this very site.), and you can check out the What If? exhibition while you’re there.  You’ve all signed the petition of course, right?  Good.
