Lineup

	Alasdair Robertson - Keyboards, Harmonica and Vocals Alasdair is a veteran of the Scottish music scene, known both for his playing and songwriting skills. Whilst a student in Edinburgh he played keyboards with folk/rock band St Clements before returning to Glasgow where he has worked with some of Scotlands best known performers including Eddie Reader, Michael Marra, Liz Lochhead and Peter Mullan. He has written music for films and released many albums and CDs both as a solo artist and also whilst working with Scottish rock and folk bands including Cado Belle, The Ideal Band and The Zydeco Ceilidh Band. Throughout this varied career his favourite style of music for live performance has always been, and still remains........the Blues.
	Dougie Robertson - Lead vocals, Rhythm guitar and Percussion. Dougie began playing drums at 17 to alleviate the boredom of serving an apprenticeship in plumbing. He spent a number of years playing drums and singing backing vocals in numerous rock bands in Ayrshire before emigrating to Australia for 11 years, playing and singing in bands there. After a break from live music he took up guitar as a hobby and played in a band at Davis station in Antarctica whilst working there for 6 months. Returning to Scotland in 1997 he met up with Ty Williamson and their love of rock and Blues led to a music collaboration that continues to this day.......Ty puts up with Dougies' guitar playing and Dougie puts up with Tys' lack of any vocal output!
	Ty Williamson - Lead Guitar Before moving to Scotland in 1996 Ty played mostly rock music in bands including Deja Vu, No Quarter and Restless Natives. On moving to the west coast of Scotland and thinking his band playing days were probably over, a chance meeting with Dougie Robertson led to them forming the blues/rock band Framed and playing for 12 years. He has taught Guitar ( acoustic and electric ) for over 20 years and although not a prolific songwriter, the ones that do emerge are usually worth the wait. Dedicated to the classic Gibson Les Paul/Marshall combination and sound, MUDSLIDE sees Ty very comfortably back home, with his first love, the Blues.
	Sandy Smart - Bass guitar and Backing vocals After piano lessons, then trumpet in orchestras, brass and wind bands (playing alongside Annie Lennox) Sandy discovered the bass guitar at the age of 15 and has never put it down since. He helped found the Blues club at Aberdeen University and played in Aberdeen bands Albert Fish, Def Ted and Pinto before moving to Glasgow in 1972. Various projects there have seen Sandy playing Rock, New Wave and Country before he and AL Fleming formed the Red,Greens Blues Band and became well known on the Scottish blues scene. For the last 17 years or so he has played at the State Bar, Glasgow, mainly with The Statesboro Blues Band. Since moving to Oban full time in 2008 Sandy met up again with Alasdair Robertson and joined up with Argylls' finest in MUDSLIDE. He says "you can't keep an old bluesman down !"
	Iain Coates - Drums. Iain is an Oban based drummer and percussionist who has peformed with many bands throughout Scotland and has recorded drum tracks for various artist's albums over the years. He was the drummer for the Ivan Drever Band, whose blend of rock n roll and celtic ballad featured Ivan Drever & Andy Murray ( both former Wolfstone members ) and Finlay Wells. They released an EP, recorded an album and toured the UK, Norway and Denmark. Iain's versatile style encompasses various genres including rock, jazz, country, celtic, folk and, of course, the blues.
