Words by Derick Mackinnon Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com
We first encountered the sublime Becky Sikasa a few years ago, performing as one half of excellent duo Lunir; we were so impressed they were promptly booked to perform at one of our Wide Days festival takeover nights.
Sikasa is now performing solo under her own name and we were equally captivated with her show as part of Cryptic Glasgow’s cutting-edge sonic arts festival Sonica at in March earlier this year.
The artist has been busy this year, having already released numerous singles, some highlights include the breathtakingly beautiful Lullaby and soulful Keeper.
Earlier this year she showcased at c/o pop festival, and has a busy year of live appearances in the calendar. Today she’s playing Edelweißpiraten Festival in Germany with her band, next Sunday she plays Refugee Festival - Home Sweet Scotland at The Bungalow in Paisley, back to mainland Europe for At the B-sites festival in Cologne on 9 July and her debut headline show takes place at Sneaky Pete’s in Edinburgh on 24 July.
