Post Description

Glasgow-based melody merchants Randolph’s Leap are an eight piece folk-pop outfit led by Adam Ross and recently signed to Lost Map Records (Formerly Fence Records, home to The Pictish Trail, Kid Canaveral, Seamus Fogarty, eagleowl etc.).

Following on from the success of their debut EP, ‘Battleships & Kettle Chips’ on Olive Grove Records, 2012 saw the release of the band’s album of DIY home recordings, ‘Randolph’s Leap & The Curse of the Haunted Headphones’ on limited edition cassette through Peenko Records.  The album was hailed as a lo-fi triumph, showcasing “funny, poignant acoustic arias” (The List) and “emotional accessibility and sheer likeability”(Song By Toad). In the summer of 2012 the band released their career-spanning greatest hits collection ‘Introducing Randolph’s Leap’.

The band followed this up with another home-spun album called ‘As Fast As A Man’ (Peenko Records).  In October of last year the band released the ‘Hermit’ EP, the first studio material to feature the full band, on Fence Records as part of their Buff Tracks 7-inch series.

The band have won over many new fans thanks to their appearances at T in the Park, Green Man, Celtic Connections, Wickerman, Belladrum and Fence Records’ HomeGame, AwayGame and Eye O’The Dug Festival. More recently the band featured in the Blog Sound of 2013 list and they were also tipped by Vic Galloway in Ones To Watch in 2013. In addition to this they have recently recorded two sessions for Marc Riley’s 6Music show and in February 2013 they played their biggest gig to date when they headlined the Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh.

Randolph’s Leap are usually Adam Ross (guitar/vocals),  Iain Taylor (drums), Vicki Cole (bass), Andrew MacLellan (electric guitar/cello), Heather Thikey (violin), Ali Hendry (trumpet), Fraser Gibson (trombone) and Pete MacDonald (keyboards).
