James Liandu CANVAS Headliner

Come down to CANVAS and experience a night of real music , heartfelt thought - provoking lyrics , and witness three unique artists take the stage for what will be a night to remember.

James Liandu:

Hailing from Dundee, Zambian-Scottish artist James Liandu refuses to be boxed in musically. His collection of songs is a testament to musical fluidity, rejecting genre constraints in favour of a sound that is raw, authentic, and uniquely his own.

Becky Kidd:

Becky first began singing outside the four walls of her room aged 17 when she started busking to earn some extra cash. Around the same time she began experimenting with songwriting, and has been playing music ever since. 
Inspired by the highs and lows of life, her music is about storytelling and capturing feelings people can relate to.

Colm O'Sullivan:

After moving to Glasgow from Gibraltar for his studies, Colm, Irish-born, fell in love with the music scene on his doorstep, which reminded him of Ireland. From there, he started playing at open mics and in piano bars around Glasgow, where he continued to explore his sound of raw, emotional lyrics.

Colm takes inspiration from folk, soul, and indie, and finds it easier to convey messages through song rather than speaking or writing. "If it cannot be spoken, it will be sung."

Having shared the stage with Tom Odell, Glen Hansard and supported Tom Speight on his UK Tour in Glasgow at the end of last year, Colm has dived deep into the music scene.

Colm plans to release his debut EP this year after following his debut song ‘Sunrise’, which has been played on BBC Radio Scotland.
