All of us in Beecake can’t wait to get to the venues, meet the people and play our music.”

About Beecake
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Beecake is Billy Boyd (vocals/guitar), John Crawford (drums/vocals), Billy Johnston (guitar/piano/vocals) and Rick Martin (bass/vocals). Formed in late September 2006, Beecake sold out their first gig at Barfly, Glasgow in January 2007 and after having fans travel to see them from as far afield as Japan, Germany, Italy and the U.S., the band decided to record five tracks to be released on their EP Just B. Beecake gathered a very dedicated live audience and in the fall of 2008 won the Tartan Clef Best Live Band award at the Nordoff Robbins Music Awards. Beecake has played lived with such artists as The Fratelli’s, Sharleen Spiteri, Sandi Thom, The Attic Lights, Big Country, BMX Bandits, Amy MacDonald and Eddie Reader. In the summer of 2008, Beecake entered the studio again to start work on their full-length debut album, Soul Swimming.
