Published in Scotland On Sunday, 19 June 2016 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com [in association with Lindisfarne Festival] 
The term supergroup tends to conjure up images of self-indulgent aging rockers, usually past their sell-by date.However, Modern Studies are the exception, bringing together the combined talents of the amazing Emily Scott, the ubiquitous Rob St John, drummer/venue manager Joe Smillie and arguably Scotland’s most prolific cellist Pete Harvey. Carried by a piano melody and Scott’s captivating vocals, the band’s debut single Ten White Horses begins as an understated joy before building into a magical climax of quirky brilliance.The single gives a taste of Modern Studies' debut album, Swell To Great, which is released on Song, By Toad Records in September, and we predict it will be a contender for next year’s SAY Award. Expect a bunch of dates to be announced soon and in the meantime listen to Modern Studies at https://modernstudiestheband.com/portfolio/sound-and-vision/ Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon run the Born To Be Wide music industry social events and seminars www.borntobewide.co.uk To win tickets for this year's Lindisfarne Festival go to http://bit.ly/LindisfarneFest-Win Under the Radar in Scotland On Sunday is in association with LINDISFARNE FESTIVAL
