The Fran McGillivray Band have a strong following on the blues and roots music scene . Their vibrant and original songs are complemented by soulful, dynamic and powerful interpretations of blues standards.

Fran & Mike have recently been involved in live performance projects with Brooks Williams, the Spikedrivers and the Alan Glen / John O’Leary All Stars.

They recently released their new album 'Some Luck', it has already garnered some impressive reviews. 

"Fran's warm vocals mix well with the sympathetic finger picking acoustic guitar playing of Mike. Fran at times sounds like a mix of Rory Block   and Bonnie Raitt" Blues in Britain

"Mike’s restrained resonator guitar and Fran’s earthy voice make an intriguing combination that puts a new twist on  old music." Rock and Reel Magazine
