THE PLAINSMEN
Hard Folk for hard folk
The Plainsmen hail from the eponymous old mining village in North Lanarkshire and play a range of music: from country to blues and scottish ballads to irish folk. The Plainsmen have been influenced by many bands throughout the years and have adopted elements of southern and country rock. Catch up with The Plainsmen at one of our regular sessions (drinking is mandatory) - join in for a sing-song and a great time!!!
LINE-UP
The three regular plainsmen are Raymond Hamill on Vocals (mainly), Gabriel Hamill on guitar (mainly) and Cuz Kerr on percussion (mainly). Occasional backing vocals is provided by The St Andrews dual harmony section (Rebecca Hamill and Jennifer Duncan).
The Plainsmen however extends on occassion to six members with Ian McHugh on guitar, Charles Smith on accordion and James Breen-McDade providing the wholesome sound of a fiddle.
For paying gigs you will be dealing with the regulars accompanied wih the St Andrews dual harmony section but for most charity gigs you will get the whole bunch. :)

STAY SAFE BUT KEEP JAMMING:
Our lockdown plan
The Plainsmen have started live streaming in-house session on our facebook page so we can keep playing music and you can still listen and have a laugh with us. This will keep us sane until we can go back to playing in our favourite bars again (catch us in the Railway as soon as the Lockdown ends ;) Stay safe good people.
