about

The second album from Keep It Up may have been a long time coming but, it has definately been worth the wait! As one would expect from musicians of such high calibre, their performance is sublime while the arrangements of the material is both skilful and full of heart. Keep It Up have always shown that they possess the ability to become one of Scotland's 'great' bands; but other committments - Eilidh Shaw is a member of (amongst others) The Poozies, Harem Scarem, Drop the Box; Malcolm Stitt is in Boys of the Lough and Deaf Shepherd; Kevin MacKenzie is in Sun Honey and The Finlay MacDonald Band as well as fronting is own jazz outfit while Simon Thoumire runs Foot Stompin' Records and Hands Up For Trad as well as playing in a duo with pianist David Milligan - have meant that they make only occasional forays into the public arena. All the more reason to enjoy them when you can, even if it has to be on CD!

‘Keep it Up play with a verve, style and lightness of touch that few can achieve…..Folk Roots.'
