Scocha

Scocha is a self-proclaimed "Folk and Roll" band from Hawick, Scotland. Formed around 1991, it became established as a performing duo after the release of the album "Bordering On" in 2001. The band was founded by Iain Scott and David Chapman (hence "Sco" + "Cha"), sharing guitars and vocals, who were later joined by Phil Clayton (bass guitar), then Alan Brydon (multiple instruments) and Dougie Anderson (drums). In 2012 Alan Brydon left, Dougie Anderson moved to guitar and Ross Walsh took over on drums. In 2014 Neil Jackson replaced Phil Clayton on bass. Since forming they have steadily grown in popularity and are now a well known band in the Scottish Borders and beyond. They have released six albums: Bordering on, The Land We Love, Gie'd Sum Wellie, Scocha Live, Scattyboo, and "Moonlight again", as well as a live DVD that captures the atmosphere of one of their gigs, and two CD singles, "The Borders" and "Turnbull Songs". They performed before 15,000 people at the biggest highland games in North America (the Glengarry Highland Games) in July 2008, where they returned to headline again in July 2010, and have played at Tartan Week in New York many times, as well as appearing at festivals in Europe. Their new album "Moonlight Again" was released in October 2016.
