Chust Sublime was a long-standing radio show which aired every fortnight on Glasgow's Subcity Radio (@subcityradio) from 2015-2019.

One of the big beasts of online radio in Scotland, Subcity recently celebrated its twenty-seventh birthday. Sending out its signal from Glasgow’s West End, Subcity’s programming incorporates everything from global free jazz to Eastern European electronics and was the perfect home for Chust Sublime.

These streams were hand-assembled by Nigel Ross (accompanied by his old friend and comrade Shuggie Watson aka “the engineer”), an unimaginably complicated, time-consuming task by a crate-digger and record collector with a deep knowledge of his subject. 

This was a portal to teeming underground scenes, avant garde experimentation, forensic DJ knowledge, the outer reaches of sound art, and vital networks nurturing new artists and live music.

Nigel had a true, deep, and inspired connection and passion for music and expression, and really ultimately for connecting with and moving people, with music and friendship (and storytelling) as his tools. He shared this openly and continually with all of his friends and family and through his 90-plus radio shows as the voice behind Chust Sublime.

RIP Nigel

The Silver Arrow Collective is a super group consisting of three solo artists performing each other’s songs.
The group got together in November 2018 at Manchester's Pinhole Sounds studio to record Andy Barbour’s debut EP. Undeniable musical nirvana occurred and collective was set in stone.
Each member brings a different influence through their songs and together the six piece band produce an epic sound of psychedelic Americana. 

The Band:

Jon Mackenzie: Fellow ex-member of The Holy Ghosts, Jon has built a stellar live reputation throughout Scotland with his guitar wizardry and vocal prowess.

Davey Horne: Former member of The Ray Summers, Davey has been building a following with his solo material while also providing session duties for Grammy-nominated producer Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Roger Waters) and American touring artist Nicole Atkins.

Andy Barbour: Former keys and harmonica player with award winners The Holy Ghosts. Andy has gone back to his roots by writing his material on guitar and showcasing his voice for the first time on record.

Owen Nicholson: Owen has played pedal steel with many Scottish artists including Dougie Maclean, The Wynntown Marshall’s and has recently reunited with The New Madrids to build on their huge reputation as a top live act.

Former The Holy Ghosts rhythm section Billy Kay and Angus Ross reunite once again to provide the rock solid backbone to proceedings.
