Originally formed for a one-off show at last year’s Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow, The Scoville Units couldn’t possibly have left it there; they were having too much fun!

The Scoville Units are a collective of six prominent faces from several different corners of the British folk and acoustic music scene. Each member throws in his or her strong musical identity, creating an ensemble that is not only very different but, if you talk to those lucky enough to have caught one of their early shows, extremely fresh and exciting. People are beginning to talk!

The debut album was released in January. Read reviews here
