Notes & Rhymes

The Proclaimers

High-energy Scottish folk rock meeting Nashville soul. Thick harmonies, biting political wit, and anthemic melodies built for long drives and loud rooms.

It's the Proclaimers doing what they do best: shouting brilliant harmonies over guitars that sound like a pub at 10pm.

A resilient blend of working-class defiance and hard-won melodic optimism.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden, soaring harmonic lift in the chorus of Love Can Move Mountains that feels like a physical push.

The biting, rhythmic delivery of the verses in Free Market where the political frustration becomes danceable.

The stripped-back, vulnerable opening of Sing All Our Cares Away before the full band kicks in.
