Declan Welsh & The Decadent West are a punk band with strong pop influences hailing from East Kilbride.Guaranteed to appeal to lovers of The Clash, they’ve supported artists including; The Proclaimers, Ocean Colour Scene, Eddi Reader and Glasvegas, performed at BBC 6 Music Festival in Glasgow last month and were one of only 120 UK bands, to be selected for Glastonbury Festival’s Emerging Talent competition (whittled down from many thousands).Welsh’ songwriting covers everyday frustrations, suburban boredom, social commentary and politics.
