Jack, who recently made the move from Biggar to Edinburgh, will return to the studio in February to work on a new EP with his backing band.

With a growing collection of songs and a small army of fans, the 19-year-old is fast becoming a favourite in the Edinburgh club scene.

Jack said: “Last year I released the three-song acoustic EP but this time around I’ll be working with my own band, which will give the songs more energy.  I write by myself but when the band start working on a song they can take it in a different direction.

“I like having songs that I can perform acoustically and with the band.

“Last week we played a gig in Sneaky Petes in Edinburgh and before that we met up for a session.

“I played a tune for the guys at the end which I only thought would be an acoustic one but they did it in a totally different way.”
