Introducing Glass Cheques – Performing on Saturday 27 June 2026 on the Scottish Citylink Discovery Stage

Glasgow-based duo Glass Cheques, made up of Jamie Keenan and Darren McCaughey, are carving out a refreshing space in Scotland’s indie scene. At a time when music often chases virality over substance, the pair take a different path — one grounded in clarity, craft and an unwavering commitment to great songwriting.

Their sound draws influence from Scottish icons like Teenage Fanclub and Mogwai, yet Glass Cheques deliver something distinct: concise, honest and quietly powerful songs that land with emotional weight. Their approach is stripped back but never simple — thoughtful arrangements, warm textures and melodies that leave room for reflection. It’s music that connects because it feels real.

While still early in their journey, Glass Cheques are already establishing themselves as a duo with a clear identity and a refreshing point of view. Their work cuts through the noise with authenticity, offering listeners a reminder of how impactful straightforward, well-crafted songwriting can be.

For festival-goers looking to discover new Scottish talent rooted in sincerity and musical depth, Glass Cheques are one to watch.
