About the show
Following headline performances in 2024 at Cambridge Folk Festival and Gate To Southwell with his nine-piece Caley Soul band, as well as a sold-out bravura show for Celtic Connections at Glasgow’s Pavillion Theatre, Wilson has spent the last few months reconnecting with his roots in live club performance.
Touring solo, duo or quartet in 2025, the shows have workshopped new songs for 2026’s new Blue Rose Code studio album. The direction of travel seems to be closer to the broad Scots folk/singer-songwriter style that brought him to work with the likes of Karine Polwart, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Ewan McGregor, to write for Steve Knightley, and open for heavyweights like Van Morrison, Deacon Blue and the Proclaimers.
In any combination – solo, duo, quartet, Big Caley Soul Band – Blue Rose Code simply has to be seen live.

Blue Rose Code’s music has been described as "Ravishingly beautiful, a blaze of Caledonian Soul, muted jazz & poetic recitation (Uncut), having an “almost religious intensity and sincerity. Wilson makes widescreen soul in the spirit of Van Morrison (The Times), and "One of the best live acts around...”(AmericanaUK)
