Isa Gordon

Glasgow-based producer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Isa blends ethereal electronics with raw, expressive performance. Her debut album For You Only (Optimo Music, 2022) established her as a distinctive voice, drawing from club music, folk, punk, and experimental sound design. Raised in rural Ayrshire, where Scots is widely spoken, traditional folk songs shaped her lyricism and storytelling. Whether writing, collaborating, or performing live, Isa’s work is marked by emotional clarity, textural depth, and fearless play, combining folk-rooted songwriting with electronic innovation in a sound that is unmistakably her own.

“A raving dervish, a banshee with a first class honours” – Tony Morris

“Isa is patently a once in a blue moon talent … This is next level programming & sound design but always with soul, and musicality. Sui generis” – JD Twitch

Withered Hand (Dan Willson)

Withered Hand is the pseudonym of Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter Dan Willson. Since the release of his debut album ‘Good News’ in 2009, Dan has become a celebrated figure in the Scottish music scene and further afield. A well-travelled touring singer-songwriter, he has quietly amassed a devoted fanbase while staying true to a singular artistic vision.

A strident second album ‘New Gods’ in 2014 propelled Withered Hand into the charts, featuring appearances by friends, luminaries and supporters from the Scottish music scene from Belle & Sebastian to Frightened Rabbit to The Vaselines and beyond, resulting in a nomination for a UK AIM Award. A long-awaited third Withered Hand album, ‘How To Love’ was released in 2023, again to widespread critical acclaim.

Dan’s subsequent collaboration with Mercury Prize nominated English singer-songwriter Kathryn Williams resulted in last year’s album ‘Willson Williams’ – shortlisted for both Scottish Album of the Year and UK Americana Album of the Year 2024.

A fourth Withered Hand LP titled ‘Beauty for Ashes’ (Produced by King Creosote and Derek O’Neill), is due for release in Autumn 2026 on Fence Records.
