Blue Rose Code

- Following headline performances in ‘24 at Cambridge Folk Festival and Gate To Southwell with his nine-piece Caley Soul band as well as a sold out bravura show for Celtic Connections at Glasgow’s 1,400 cap Pavillion Theatre, Wilson has spent the last few months reconnecting with his roots in live club performance.

The direction of travel seems to be closer to the broad Scots Folk/Singer Songwriter style that brought him to work with the likes of Karine Polwart, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Ewan McGregor, to write for Steve Knightley, and open for heavyweights like Van Morrison, Deacon Blue and the Proclaimers.

In any combination; solo, duo, quartet, Big Caley Soul Band, Blue Rose Code simply has to be seen live."Nothing short of sublime.” (The Herald).“A set of almost religious intensity and sincerity.

Wilson makes widescreen soul in the spirit of Van Morrison, and was full of the holy fire of live performance.” (The Times).“Ravishingly beautiful, a burnished blaze of Caledonian Soul, muted jazz and poetic recitation” (UNCUT).
