Thundering drums, and shimmering interwoven guitars with subtle Scottish/African influences, their most recent output follows a spell of working with Mr Hudson, with whom they hope to start new recordings early next year.

Lead guitarist Dan was taught to play by his counterpart in legendary Zimbabwean band, the Bhundu Boys, and has co-written several songs on the recently released 'mi Mandela' album by Idris Elba, also featuring Maverick Sabre and Mr Hudson.

Tipped for great things in 2015, here's what Zero Magazine has to say about them this month;

A stunning live band, after headlining the BBC Introducing stage at T in the Park in 2011, over the last 3 years the lads have played many of the big UK festivals, including Hard Rock Calling (Hyde Park), Latitude, Isle of Wight and WOMAD. They've also supported The 1975 several times, and toured with Catfish and the Bottlemen earlier this year.

Playing several dates during 'Independent Venue Week', the lads are delighted to finally be opening their account at The Half Moon.
Dropping new material into their live set, Bwani Junction are proving that life outside the label system isn't impossible. Mind you, proving where they come from is still mighty difficult. 'We've had a lot of Tweets from people lately saying: when will Bwani Junction come to Scotland? It's like, come on guys we live here! When we were at T In The Park a few weeks ago we got a Tweet saying: why aren't Bwani Junction at T In The Park? We're just about to go on! He didn't reply. It's funny, you don't get a reply from these guys. We live in Edinburgh we're from here! Radio silence...'"
