TRADE

Trade are a Glasgow based 4 piece rock band who formed 4 years ago. From thier first gig in the old Strawberry fields, Trade have gone from strength to strength, playing many of the established venues in and around Glasgow, including a support slot with the Stiff Little Fingers at their annual St.Patricks day show at The Barrowland's and more recently supporting Miles Hunt of the Wonderstuff at Maggie Mays in Glasgow. Trade's current lineup includes RYAN McKENNA (Lead Guitar and Vocals), MARK TIGHE (Guitar and Vocals), DIV NICOL (Bass Guitar and Vocals) and BARRY MORGAN (Drums, Percussion and Vocals) and have been together since December 2007. Mark being the original founder member of the band and songwriter, Ryan’s strong vocals and ingenuity on lead guitar and Div’s unique vocal and bass sound with Barry being the latest member, joining on the drums and adding another dimension in song writing and creativity, they have not had a chance to look back since. After a good few months perfecting existing songs and continuing to write new material they finally got to the recording studio in March of 2008 and put down three new tracks, SOULS FOR SALE, LIFE'S TOO SHORT and PRAYER FOR YOU. Now with a significant number of gigs firmly under their belt, including a comeback show at Capitol that rocked Sauchiehall street to it's foundations and a raucous set at Pivo Pivo recently, Trade are getting stronger and stronger. In addition after gig’s supporting UNDERGROUND HEROES and taking part in LIVE@LOCH LOMOND 08 heats, The Butterfly And The Pig on Bath Street has put "LIFE'S TOO SHORT" onto their jukebox due to popular demand so go in and have a listen. This last year has seen a new chapter added to Trade and they have now perfected their own unique sound with a raw live edge. 2009 promises to be a groundbreaking year for Trade as they look to spread their wings and perform gigs further afield at venues in Northern Scotland as well as England and Ireland so if you get the chance, experience TRADE!!
