Lead Sister are the female-led faction of Scottish funk 'n' soul collective, The Tomorrow Band. The septet features Scottish Jazz Award-winners and musicians made up from other established recording artists - Horse, Joesef, James Brown Is Annie, and Macy Gray to name but a few.
While performing tracks from the Hamish Stuart-produced (Average White Band) TTB album, Inside/ Outside ("Keeping the funk flame alive" - Daily Record), the group also focuses on championing the most edgy, innovative and funky of female-led RnB music.
As BBC Radio Scotland says: "Down tools, take five, and shimmy."
Lead the way, sisters...

“Mississippi MacDonald represents the next generation of great guitarists who hail from the UK…wholly authentic, he’s earned the right to claim the name” Living Blues, USA
Mississippi MacDonald is an English Soul-Blues singer/songwriter/guitarist, who fronts a four piece band and this evening will be performing a solo set. He is a 6 times British/UK Blues Awards and three times US Independent Blues Awards nominee.
Since his signing to APM Records in 2021, he has appeared on BBC Radio 2’s Blues Show with Cerys Matthews and has played extensively in the UK and the US including a Washington State Blues Society showcase on Beale Street during the International Blues Challenge, appearances on King Biscuit Time (Helena AK), and Radio Memphis. He has recorded recently in the US with established artists Vaneese Thomas (Rufus Thomas) and Benny Turner (Freddie King, Mighty Joe Young).
Mississippi’s first record for APM, “Do Right, Say Right” was named in the top 10 Blues Albums of 2022 by Mojo Magazine, and was album of the year on HRH Blues Radio.
Touring his second album for APM Records, Heavy State Loving Blues, he was appraised by Blues In Britain Magazine as “one of finest modern bluesmen in the U.K. and on this release he’s excelled in all areas.”
Heavy State Loving Blues has charted for multiple weeks at the top of the RMR Global Blues Report, second only to Buddy Guy, was in the Living Blues (US) top 25 charts for January and February ’23 and has received major international airplay, including Sirius XM BB King’s Bluesville in the US.. In the UK, the record was #1 in the IBBA Blues Charts for 2 months running – a feat that hasn’t been achieved by any artist (UK or International) for many years.
Mississippi MacDonald’s blues are authentic, heartfelt, and reflect a lifetime of learning from the greats.
