Avocet

Avocet are a musical trio from Scotland, based in Glasgow. Drawing inspiration from both the psychedelic folk scene alive in Britain during the 1960’s and 70’s, and free form blues, they create their own compositions on harp, guitar, double bass and vocals. Their music has been compared to that of artists like like Nick Drake, Pentangle, and John Martyn. “the wistful combination of instrumentation and compositions touched us all…Some of my closest friends were in Pentangle and I don’t think a comparison with them is out of place.”- Ralph McTell
