Description
RM HUBBERT – (or Hubby to his friends) is a guitarist, founding member of El Hombre Trajeado, and a much loved and respected figure within the Glasgow music scene. His debut solo album ‘First & Last’ was self-released in 2010 before being picked up by Chemikal Underground in 2011. The follow up ‘Thirteen Lost & Found’ was released in January this year to widespread critical acclaim and features collaborations with Alasdair Roberts, Aidan Moffat, Alex Kapranos and Emma Pollock (amongst others). A hugely gifted guitarist, Hubby's work incorporates elements of flamenco, folk, samba and taiko and is inspired by events in his life that have, at times, been heartbreakingly difficult. Not so fast with the doom and gloom though because there are also amazingly evocative pieces dealing with adolescence, love and even his dog Mr Bone. The strength of Hubby's playing lies in his ability to evoke emotions in a way that many of his peers in bands with vocals can't even come close to. Hubby’s technical prowess, combined with the intimacy of his shows has secured his reputation as an unmissable live performer – a fact not lost on the likes of Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat and The Twilight Sad, who have all invited Hubby to support them on tour.
