Miyagi are a strange and special creature. With a globetrotting group of at least 7 members, you never know how many might turn up. But with each one a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist you're guaranteed a unique experience usually based in some kind of good time, dancing, dangerously pumping, harmony-laden happyland. On offer you might find animalistic drums, wild sax, warm country bass licks, jangling surf guitar and new-wave cello, all topped off with luscious harmonies, and beating a way through genres of rock, country, funk, surf, blues, dance and folk for your delight.

Bob Hillary
HELLO THERE my name is Bob. Welcome to my world. I am left-handed, which means that I am pre-disposed to creativity, music, sensitivity and madness. Great. I've never fitted in - I grew up on a farm in rural England and never really joined the city-dwelling masses. My music is inspired by a love of nature and all things real, but also an extreme sadness at the state of the planet & the mess we're making of it; it seems we live in a world that is hell bent on destroying this beautiful mother earth. All around the world there seems to be a shift of consciousness happening, people are waking up - and trying to change the way they do things, and I intend to be a part of that change... and that's kind of what my music is about.

Freemoore
Freemoore's musical history is convoluted and uncertain. Formerly of Edinburgh genre-benders The Ruffness, he trumpeted for the great comedians Orkestra Del Sol for as long as his shirts could stand it and spent 10 years leading or following drum crews in Beltane Fire Festival. Chronically unable to stick to one instrument, he now plays trumpet, guitar, double bass, synths, samples, and sings, but cannot play poker due to his face.

The True Gents
The True Gents were formed in the woods of Invermay, Perthshire around 2 years ago by Toby Jeffrey and Euan Nicol, who would regularily meet up armed with acoustic guitars and spend the day writing songs reflecting on love, life and friendship. Before long, they had a shedload of songs written, and met up with local producer Robin Wynn Evans (the view, manic street preachers, dodgy) to record them. The resulting cd was handed out to friends and family, and gradually the True Gents grew from a duo into a fully fledged musical collective.
