Blue Rose Code

In the space of a few short years Blue Rose Code (aka acclaimed Edinburgh-raised, London-based singer-songwriter Ross Wilson), has built a growing reputation as a powerful writer and performer, gaining extensive radio play and the praise of key broadcasters including Edith Bowman, Mary Ann Kennedy, Bob Harris and also actor Ewan McGregor who made a cameo appearance on the album "And Lo The Bird Is On The Wing" after commenting: “My uncle Denis Lawson (star of Local Hero) gave me a copy of 'The Ballads Of Peckham Rye', it’s beautiful and I can’t stop listening to it.” Author Ian Rankin is also a fan and has written insightful sleeve notes for the new album, "The Water of Leith".

A nomad both geographically and musically, Ross writes from the heart eschewing any specific genre and his songs, which address themes of love, loss, travel, home, accepting the past and embracing the future, are painted with colours of folk, jazz, gospel, soul and pop; an eclecticism that has seen him compared to John Martyn, Van Morrison and Tom Waits.
