FREE ENTRY BAD ACTRESS have been touring the UK extensively since 2021, showcasing their growing catalogue of solid original material, rooted in ‘good time’ blues and hard rock. Recent releases include Dynamite Lover and Living in Paradise, with the brand new single, Rockin with You being released on 15 March 2024. Part of the emerging rock scene, this is a band that’s no stranger to the festival circuit and many grassroots venues the length and breadth of the country. This includes 2024 opening slots for the likes of Dead Man’s Whiskey (Glasgow) and Collateral (Sheffield). In Scotland they have appeared at WinterStorm (2021, 2023), Bonfest (2022, 2024), Woodzstock (2023), Belladrum (2022) and Monsterfest (2018,2019, 2021, 2022).

They’ve also appeared at many other events such as Breaking Bands, SavFest and Rockwich. Long before BAD ACTRESS burst onto their local music scene in 2018, each of the members had been clocking up performing, writing and recording experience with different bands of different styles and influences. In bringing all this together they delight crowds wherever they go and are on a mission to be part of the reason people keep going to see live rock shows. BAD ACTRESS are: Lui Q (drums); Chick McFarlane (lead guitar); Tommy B (rhythm guitar); Toby Michaels (lead vocals); and Mork (bass).
