Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Meursault
For the majority of the folk that visit this site, Meursault will be a band with whom you are very familiar. If you haven’t come across the Edinburgh ‘folktronica’ outfit then you are in for a bit of a treat. Their debut album, ‘Pissing On Bonfires/Kissing With Tongues’ was one my personal favoiurites in 2009 […]
