Since forming the band in 2011, these Inverness musicians, comprising vocals, piano, sax, accordion, guitar and drums, have performed at venues and festivals all over Scotland. From Durness down to Dumfries, they have steadily built a loyal following for their enchanting original songs, beautiful 5-part harmonies and passionate musicianship. TV and radio appearances have included playing on Clive Anderson’s Loose Ends on BBC Radio 4 live from the Edinburgh Fringe, where they have also played headline shows. The band has also supported major touring artists including The Magic Numbers, Squeeze and The Staves. All accomplished players and singers in their own right, Dorec-a-belle brings a wealth of experience and strong song-writing to this unique line-up, with their debut album, Listen, supported by Creative Scotland.
