I’ve one song by The Wellgreen, and it comes courtesy of being included on the digital download to commemorate and celebrate Indietracks 2014
mp3: The Wellgreen – Grin And Bear It
It was originally released as the opening and title track of the band’s second album, released on their own label, The Barne Society, in 2013.
The following info has been listed from a piece that appeared on the website, Penny Black Music, in May 2014:-
The Wellgreen are a Glasgow-based band, which is centered around multi-instrumentalists and vocalists Stuart Kidd and Marco Rea.
They have recorded two albums to date, 2011’s ‘Wellgreens’ and last year’s ‘Grin and Bear It’, which, produced on vintage equipment, they have released on their own label, the Barne Society. Their music, which seamlessly combines 60’s-pop and folk sounds with psychedelia, has won much local acclaim, and earned Kidd and Rea, with their evocative and inventive harmonies, comparisons with the Beach Boys, the Beatles and also Crosby, Stills and Nash.
The Wellgreen recently expanded to a four-piece with the addition ofJim McGoldrick and Daniel McGeever.
I think the band achieved what they set out to achieve soundwise but it doesn’t grab me. I know the name Stuart Kidd, but from where? I found this online:

Stuart perfoms as Kidd and Doctor Cosmo’s Tape Lab. Still releasing music in 2023.
