The Secret Goldfish - Empty Holster Vinyl LP / DL

Empty Holster has been in process since 1996 when vocalist Katy Lironi started collating songs by her favourite songwriters Vic Godard, Davy Henderson and James Kirk (the idea for Empty Holster was a covers album of their songs). The tracks have been recorded extremely sporadically over the past decades and were finally finished off at Green Door studio and mastered by Samuel Joseph Smith.

Empty Holster also features covers of songs by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham, Port Sulphur, The Beach Boys, and a long-lost Goldfish collaboration with Adventures in Stereo’s Jim Beattie, Elevator, which was missing for 15 years, presumed lost.

Musical guests appearing on Empty Holster include Mick Slaven (The Bluebells), Campbell Owens (Aztec Camera), James Kirk (Orange Juice), Vic Godard (Subway Sect), Francis Macdonald (Teenage Fanclub), and Katy and Douglas’s daughter Amelia Lironi (QUAD90).

The album will be released on Goldfish Orange Vinyl

The Secret Goldfish will be appearing live at the Glad Cafe, Glasgow, on Saturday 21st June. The album will be released on Friday 20th June.
