The Red Book
The Red Book is quite an 'ickle project. The Red Book is an acoustic album written and performed by Alex Elliott from Band Substance, Stuart Browne from Glass Pilot & Jamie Williamson. We are also on Myspace at www.myspace.com/theredbook123
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
All of us are from that band that is the most infamous of all: The Albionists!!! After the Albionists went their seperate ways Band Substance and (to a lesser extent) Glass Pilot wore forged from the ashes. Both of these band have rised like a Phoneix to become two of the best local bands! We thought "what the hell" so 3 of us have returned to form "THE RED BOOK" an acoustic group hell-bent on creating an acoustic album that kicks arse. Our future plans is to pick up a drummer and bassist and become a full-time full-band.
