The Deadly Winters + special guests tickets

Begun in 2019 and plagued by band illness, worldwide panic, studio closures, travel restrictions and the occasional heavy shower, no one would fail to forgive The Deadly Winters for giving up.

But they didn't, and thank the gods of music!

Possibly because of the endless trauma throughout the recording, ‘ever onwards’ has emerged triumphant from the ashes.

Songs of beauty, sentiment, the pure joy of nature and the raucous celebration of life itself, ‘ever onwards’ is without question the undeniable front runner of The Deadly Winters catalogue to date.

In May 2023 the band marked their return by releasing a reworking of the traditional folk song “The Cuckoo”, managing to slip it seamlessly and comfortably into their distinctly styled musical canon.

Come July, BBC Radio Scotland’s Travelling Folk show made ‘The Cuckoo’ their BBC Introducing song of the week.

Frontman and songwriter Chris Blair said: “There are many quite beautiful moments in this record, and we're very proud as a band to have created it. The songs have now reached a level of maturity and depth; it almost sounds too good to be us....”

“... deep philosophy and a distinctly Scottish feel.  Ever Onwards is a really classy piece of work and comes highly recommended.”Folking.com

“EVER ONWARDS is laudable proof that independent music can pack a punch. The Deadly Winters put their sound on the line and deliver a freshly resolute and entertaining packed package. A trusted style underpins the record, while the band add a polish that meets with approval.”Three Chords and The Truth

“... excellent album. If you like Twenty Years, you'll love the rest of the album. There's a cracking video which I urge you to check out.”Scots Whay Hae!
