John Rush finished 2021 as a man in demand, unexpectedly finding himself invited to support Paul Weller, Hipsway and Ocean Colour Scene, performing at The Barrowlands three times in as many weeks. And in just in time for Christmas, he picked up two gongs at the inaugural Paisley Music Awards, one of which honoured his weekly performances he streamed during every lockdown since 2020. These served to build a community of fans around the world and also helped send his last single, The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree, to number 2 in the iTunes, singer-songwriter chart (he was kept off the top spot by Sam Fender). Written for his father, the track was produced by Liam McClusky, and the creative duo are currently working on Rush’s second album. The momentum continues apace, with a gig at Paisley’s The Bungalow on Friday (11 February), a support with The Silencers at SWG3 on 26 March and a headline show with band in Glasgow’s Room 2 (8 April). Expect a new single in the spring and festival appearances at Eden Festival and Doune The Rabbit Hole.
