SCOTLAND'S most original folk/pop band is tuning up ahead of a performance in the Borders next week.

Tide Lines will play Kelso's Tait Hall on Saturday, June 8 - and a few tickets are still available.

Their debut album, Dreams We Never Lost, has sold over 10,000 copies to date.

And their EP, Let’s Make Tonight, reached number nine in the iTunes Official UK Album Download Charts on the day of its release - also attracting almost 200,000 Spotify streams in its first week alone.

Drawing from a myriad of influences, spanning from their native Gaelic culture to classic American song writers, Tide Lines will perform a host of original songs and dynamic bagpipe sets.

With a new EP in hand, Tide Lines recently embarked on their first full-scale UK headline tour: a 28-gig journey from the Isle of Lewis to Southampton, with gigs in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Newcastle in between – and not forgetting a sold-out gig in SWG3, Glasgow for 1,200 fans.

Over the course of the tour, the band will have played to unprecedented audience numbers across the UK, with many shows selling out well in advance, and they will be finishing off the year in style, headlining a Hogmanay celebration in the 15,000-capacity Inverness Northern Meeting Park.

Lynne Lauder from promoters Live Borders said: "Tide Lines are a top-quality Scottish band and we are very lucky to have them performing in the Tait Hall, Kelso, as part of their tour.

"This is the only chance to see the band play in the Scottish Borders this year, before they head abroad!

"We recommend booking in advance for this popular performance, as tickets are selling fast.”

Tide Lines will be appearing at the Tait Hall, Kelso on Saturday, June 8.
