"A triumph of unsettling chamber-prog, Quetzalcoatl propels itself along a tightrope of tension and release for 5 high-octane minutes. The track was written by guitarist Frazer Knox and came out of a Tinderbox workshop series called ‘Creative Sessions’ that brought together composers and bands from all manner of backgrounds for one-off orchestral collaborations."

Bethany Lane is the beating heart of Tinderbox's debut album, and the wider collective. It’s a rallying cry and an inclusive musical mission statement, where rappers squeeze in beside the string section, who jostle for space with a mighty all-ages choir.  The piece has evolved over the years to include everyone the orchestra works with, and features over 200 young performers. Whether it’s amateur young musicians or aspiring professionals, voices from across the city come together to make a mighty noise!


Released April 19th, 2017 
Composed and arranged by Jack Nissan.
Rap verses by Thomas Murray and Jay Supa.
Final chorus featuring Aga Idczak on lead vocals.
All other lyrics were collated from words & phrases written across various youth music workshops across Edinburgh.

Recorded & mixed by Garry Boyle at Slate Room Studio 
Mastered by Stuart Hamilton at Castlesound Studio 
Additional recordings on location at North Edinburgh Arts, Kaimes School and Napier University by Graham Coe, Patrick Findlay, Phil McBride, Anna Heath, Robson Thorburn and Emily Pinkerton.
