The Mind Sweepers are a quintet from South West Scotland comprising Paul Winter (vocals/rhythm guitar/songs and lyrics), John McInally (lead guitar), Mark Jardine (bass guitar), and Bryn Thorburn (drums/percussion/photography). We were formed in May of 2014 and had completed our set, before there was a line-up change so we had to start again. Another change at the tail-end of '15 brought about John as our new lead guitarist and the band sound has finally levelled out to be our strongest yet. Now, in Autumn, '16, we have hopefully reached our final line-up with the addition of Mark on bass, as well as being super-keen on sound experimentation and tech. The songs have evolved with the new additions and we've found ourselves to be drifting into places we never dreamed possible with regard to experimentation and originality. We have a strong work ethic, we rehearse every week, and treat every gig as though it was a showcase in front of EMI. We had teething troubles with the sound in our early days and have found the addition of a sound tech has laid that bane to rest. We're based in S/W Scotland but we've played all over the country, dependent on available funds obviously. We've played large festivals, intimate pub gigs, charity do's, and acoustic radio slots. We're up for ocht! :)

Just a man trying to document his life through song! Only problem being..i was that wasted for half of it that i've forgotten what i was supposed tae be singing about!? ;) x
