Hailing from the West Lothian town of Bathgate, Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves are fast becoming Scotland’s brightest and best young band.Released last week, excellent new single Tippy Toes is one of their strongest yet, building to a catchy, sing-along chorus.With sold out shows across Scotland, (their Glasgow G2 gig sold out in 5 hours, Edinburgh’s Leith Depot in just 30 minutes) their fanbase is growing rapidly. Mark also set a world record, performing 50 times in different towns across the UK over a 24 hour period, whilst raising money for charity.See the band support chart-topping school friend Lewis Capaldi in Edinburgh on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by Glasgow’s Indian Summer Festival on 30 August, WD on the Pitch in Coatbridge the next day and a hometown headline slot at Bathgate’s Party in the Park on 1 September.
