biography

button up was created by Garry John Kane and Ross Mcfarlane around 1998 to play Hammond jazz instrumental music to play in and around Glasgow "especially Mark Robbs buff club" as at the time no one was playing that kind of wonderful music. It developed into something special and produced a debut album "jazz casuals" in 1999 featuring Paul Gallagher ..boards, Ally McLeod on guitar, Ken Mccluskey on harmonica, Jim Wingate on percussion and produced by Greg Kane for Kudzu.

After the underground success of "jazz casuals" the band moved on and became players for other bands including - the proclaimers, Marianne Faithfull, Justin Currie, mull historical society, mccluskey brothers, gentle waves, the poems and pat Kane to name but a few.

Since 2004 with the production talent of mark freegard button up have "in between extensive touring commitments with other bands" been putting the new 10 track album together "No dancin' on the Tables". It features Andy May on all keyboards, guitars by Stuart Nisbet and one track by Brian "the flame" Mcfie. Also featuring the fantastic vocal of Justin Currie on 3 tracks with additional vocals on 2 tracks by the wonderful Joseph Malik. The horn section on the album consists of Tom Macniven "Trumpets" and Rick Taylor "Trombone" and complete a fine line up. There are 5 tracks that are instrumental keeping with the original button up idea.

Hope you all enjoy the music and thanks for listening. Take care peace, love and friendship.

Hey Garry John, so glad you like my CD and yes I will check out Aldo's CD over on iTunes.  As for being tired, I so understand.  Not to worry I had so much fun Tuesday night I'm sure I had enough energy for everyone in the venue. (hee hee hee)

Take care and don't work too hard.
