Another chance to hear our Edinburgh Festival special. Roddy Hart presents performances from Rianne Downey, Mike McKenzie and Luke La Volpe, recorded at Dynamic Earth in the capital city in August 2023.

Luke La Volpe is a singer-songwriter from Bathgate. He’s grown from selling out King Tuts to playing Trnsmt Festival and has supported the likes of Lewis Capaldi, Tom Walker and Tom Grennan. He’s a patron of the Music Venue Trust – supporting grassroots music venues and live music’s return after lockdown and played The Quay Sessions for the first time ahead of his UK tour.

Bellshill's Rianne Downey is a fast rising new talent. She's already made her Glastonbury debut and sung with Paul Heaton at festivals around the UK. Rianne returned to The Quay Sessions to showcase songs from her EP Method To My Madness and more.

Singer-songwriter Mike McKenzie has performed his music in some of Scotland’s most prestigious venues including the Glasgow Barrowland and Edinburgh Queens Hall. He recently teamed up with PJ Moore of The Blue Nile and composer Malcolm Lindsay as lead singer for their collaboration PJ Moore & Co. But it’s in his solo guise that we welcomed Mike to the Quay Sessions for his debut performance.
