Ross FAIRWEATHER

BIOGRAPHY:

A former member of Shine, and frontman of Mr Nice, Fairweather has continued to play live as a solo performer since at least 2003. When Mr Nice split in spring 2006 he played Big In Falkirk solo. Fairweather continued gigging, and in March 2007 supported The Zutons (and The MacDonald Brothers!) at the Glasgow Carling Academy. For this date he was backed by Dan Adams (drums, ex-Mr Nice, then playing with The Doledrums), Billy Kay (bass, ex-Mr Nice) & Ian Jamieson (guitar, who may have been ex-10%). Just before then he also supported Strands frontman Howie Payne at Rialto in Falkirk. At this time Fairweather recruited a band to record his debut album, going under the name Ross Fairweather & The Billy Shears. Fairweather began 2008 with a date at the closing night of Grubowski's. Later in the year he recruited a new act to replace The Billy Shears, called The Last Saloon.
