First appearing on stage in an Art College bar in Scotland's capital (November 2007), the five fresh-faced members of 'i said yes' have, since then, taken their upbeat, melodic, pop-infused folk to many other corners of the UK, playing at various venues across cities such as London, Oxford and Bristol and at various festivals such as Offset, Linkylea, Green Man Fayre, Hidden Festival, and the BBC Introducing Stage at the Swindon Shuffle. 'i said yes' have been played on XFM, 6music, regional BBC Introducing Shows and were featured on the XFM 'new music rising' podcast.
ISY spent New Year 08/09, and some of Sept 09, recording with the brilliant Joe Robertson in Edinburgh. Without Joe's patience and brilliance, they'd be but a shadow of the recordings that they are now.
The very talented professional photographer, Tina Hillier, recently (and very generously) gave up some of her time to take some photos of us.
We also owe our thanks to Jack Storey who took some great black & white photos of us at The Allotment, which you can see on this page.
All the wonderful graphics on this page, (and the lovely music video) were made by the most excellent Fiona Storey (graphic designer extraordinaire)
The black and white photographs found on the left hand side of this page were taken by the talented Laurence Callaghan, and for the very colourful photos of us playing at the Anson Rooms in Bristol we are very grateful to Nikita Winayak.
