Yes he's back by popular demand. that is me. one of my favourite live acts" T Blue Rose Code is a band led by Edinburgh-born, Liverpool-based singersongwriter Ross Wilson, at once, one of Edinburgh's favourite sons and still one of Scotland's best kept secrets. Blue Rose Code’s music has been described as "Ravishingly beautiful, a blaze of Caledonian Soul, muted jazz & poetic recitation (Uncut), having an “almost religious intensity and sincerity.

Their previous albums include With Healing Of The Greatest Kind(2020), The Water of Leith(2017), The Ballads of Peckham Rye (2014) and most recently, 2023’s reflective compilation, TenYearsGrace.

Blue Rose Code

Leytonstone Social Club · London

Blue Rose Code is a band led by Edinburgh-born songwriter Ross Wilson. At the edge of contemporary alt-folk, Wilson's music evokes a meeting of Van Morrison and a young John Martyn, both shipwrecked with a bunch of Motown records. Following headline performances in 2024 at Cambridge Folk Festival and Gate To Southwell with his nine-piece Caley Soul band as well as a sold out bravura show for Celtic Connections at Glasgow's 1400 capacity Pavillion Theatre, Wilson has spent the last few months reconnecting with his roots in live club performance. Touring solo, duo, or quartet in 2025, the shows have workshopped new songs for 2026's new Blue Rose Code studio album. The direction of travel seems to be closer to the broad Scots Folk/Singer Songwriter style that brought him to work with the likes of Karine Polwart, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Ewan McGregor, to write for Steve Knightley, and open for heavyweights like Van Morrison, Deacon Blue and the Proclaimers. In any combination; solo, duo, quartet, Big Caley Soul Band, Blue Rose Code simply has to be seen live.
