Mark W. Georgsson holds the distinction of being the first artist to be signed to Last Night From Glasgow, back in 2016. He had formerly been a member of Glasgow-based indie-rock band The Velveteen Saints, who created a bit of a buzz locally between 2012 and 2014 without ever clinching a record deal.
His solo material proved to be quite different from that of his former band, with it being described as a blend of Celtic/Nordic folk and Americana. No surprise that his debut album Faces and Places, which was released in January 2017 was recorded between Edinburgh, Mull and Reykjavík, with production duties being handled by Rod Jones of Idlewild.
