BIOGRAPHY:
Polmont based
solo performer, born in 1985, who was a runner-up in the Miller Music Unsigned
competition on Beat 106 in late 2004. This led to exposure on the station ("One
of Scotlands finest new singer-songwriters...simply stunning!" said Jim
Gellatly), as well as coverage in the Daily Record ("One of the hottest
new acts to emerge from our shores"), and on Radio Royal & Central
FM. Price then worked with local Runrig member Brian Hurren, and played live
around Scotland.In October 2005 Price played a date at the "Way To Blue" festival in Falkirk, around the same time as he released his debut EP entitled "24 Hours".
2006 saw Price playing more dates, and also releasing a video of the track "'Only One Who's Crying" on his MySpace site. In April he played at Big In Falkirk, and then signed a management deal with Edinburgh based Hot Rock Management. Over the summer he put together a backing band of Bryan Hamilton (drums, also with Ghost), Fraser Christie (guitar), Tam McCracken (guitar), James McCabe (keyboards) & Sean Cairns (bass, also with Shinobi Storm), and continued to play dates across Scotland, including a support to The Cosmic Rough Riders, and an appearance at "Big In Falkirk". Summer saw McCracken & Cairns leaving the line-up, with Graeme Mack (bass) joining. This prompted the act to go out under a band name, as Echofela, from August 2007.
