WARREN JAMES James Kirk and Warren McIntyre are "Warren James" James Kirk is a founding member of Glaswegian indie legends Orange Juice and his jangly, melodic guitar riffs were integral to the Sound Of Young Scotland, which in turn gave birth to indie music as we know it and inspired countless guitar players. He also wrote their jangletastic song 'Felicity". Last year his old bandmate Edwyn Collins asked him, alongside original Orange Juice drummer Steven Daly, to join him for a sort of OJ reunion on his farewell shows in Glasgow and Londonand they sounded fabulous! James has joined forces with Warren McIntyre of melodic pop folk-rockers Starry Skies, after he was asked to play Glas-Goes Pop (an inspired indie fest held in Glasgow) in 2022. They have become a prolific songwriting duo with their 1st single, limited edition double AA side Miss Green Tea and Costa del Culzean released (GGP-001 vinyl) in the Summer of 2025 to coincide with Glasgow Goes Pops 4th outing. On stage they are joined by Hal on bass and Michael (V-Twin/1990s) on drums.' Support THE LOVELY BASEMENT Bristol-based band the Lovely Basement play jangly indie pop-rock - think the Velvet Underground & Belle and Sebastian.Post-cool or too old to care Lovely beings in the Basement are: Kevin Bache: guitars, vocals Steve Dew: drums, percussion Katie Scaife: guitars, vocals Paul Waterworth, bass THE CHARLIE TIPPER REBELLION The fourth incarnation of a band who's prolific nature has seen them release nine LPs in just over a decade. Compared to everyone from Luna and Pavement to Belle and Sebastian and the Go Betweens, the band have doggedly ploughed their own furrow. Guitars always to the forefront, their latest LP 'Second Time Around' (Old Bad Habits) was released in summer 2024 and showcased a slightly more polished sound than previous offerings - but as ever with the songwriting at the centre. The band have always shared the vocals around, but singer Linda is now taking a more prominent position, handling main vocal duties on some of the band's new material for the first time.
