Majestic Dandelion @ Classic Grand

Majestic Dandelion launched their debut self-titled album with a headline gig at the Classic Grand. The band, based in Paisley, features brothers Craig (guitar, lead vocals) and Graeme Ralston (drums, backing vocals), alongside Liam Kavanagh (bass).

The band has gained a loyal following having built up a solid reputation as one of Scotland’s most exciting young bands, and played to a crowd of over 200 on the night.
Anyone who has seen them live will be familiar with songs like Born near the River and Falling over Laughing, which have become staples of their live shows. All of their songs, written by Craig, are groove-laden and hummable from the first time you hear them, echoing the classic rock ‘n’ roll sound from the Sixties.





The band were given such a rapturous applause at the end of the night that they were forced to return for one final track, and brought the gig to a close with an extended instrumental jam that showed off the obvious talents of each band member.
Definitely a band to watch – their debut album is available now!
