Douglas Kay started playing acoustic gigs around Edinburgh in 1995 and has honed his skills in the clubs, bars and coffee houses of Australia, North America, New Zealand, South Africa and Europe.
His debut album, Of All The Towns To Sleep In, is home to an organic set of songs born of singer-songwriter craft which have received airplay on BBC Radio One, BBC Radio Scotland, London station Xfm (where Moving Target won the listener vote after featuring on the show X-Posure) and Australia's Central FM. The album also led to Kay's first Australian TV appearance in spring 2004 and a support slot with KT Tunstall.
Douglas Kay Band, which features bassist Alex Hunter and drummer Hugh Martin, has played a series of notable gigs since then including support slots for artists such as Amy MacDonald, and the prestigious T Break Showcases. In April 2006 Douglas completed a solo US tour which stimulated interest from producers in that country.
August 2008 saw Douglas and the band play a raft of dates as part of the internationally renowned Edinburgh Festival. In October, the song Better was voted top track by a local band in an Edinburgh Evening News poll.
The band's new album, Into Your Head, will be released in November 2009.
