This week legendary music mogul Alan McGee talks with Darren Forbes of Fife band the Shambolics.

Darren Forbes – Vocals/Guitar, discusses the start of the Shambolics and what Alan McGee describes as, “one of the most exciting things coming out of Scotland……”

Shambolics are a four piece Fife band; Lewis McDonald (vocals/guitar), Darren Forbes (vocals/guitar), Jordan McHatton (vocals/bass) and Jake Bain (vocals/drums). Already said to be, “a firm favourite on Scottish turf, the four piece have become accustomed to selling out venues like St Lukes in Glasgow and The Water Rats in London in a heartbeat.”

Signed by Alan McGee to his Creation 23 label last summer. Not ones to sit still, the Shams preoccupied themselves during the pandemic with a series of classic cover versions in their distinctly dreamy style, including Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Everywhere’, The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Light’, ABBA’s ‘mamma Mia and The Rolling Stones‘ ’Sympathy For The Devil’; finding a raft of new fans with their uplifting reworkings.
