Exciting events and experiences happening this month in Kinross.
Red Giant
Event Information
Lead songwriter, guitarist and vocalist, David Simpson first picked up the guitar at 16 years old. Since that time David has been a prominent performer in several bands over the years and co-founded Red Giant at the beginning of 2024. David decided after years of playing in other bands it was time to follow his own musical style. The music he was writing did not fit the bands he was playing with and he soon setup his own group The Dave Simpson Trio. The trio performed all over the UK for years and was a very established blues rock band, but in 2024 the band wanted a change. Not just in name but in style, opting for a heavier rockier approach to go along with the new songs David was writing. Red Giant was born. Not long after the name change the band went into the studio to record their self-titled debut album. David is a world-renowned YouTube presenter with a channel that has amassed over 135,000 subscribers due to his unique playing style and expertise on the instrument. David has been incredibly open about his struggles with mental health and his blunt openness has helped countless others deal with their personal traumas. David’s work ethic is outstanding, tirelessly working on songs and videos while also performing and collaborating with other musicians. John Joe Gaskin, the drummer for Red Giant, also started playing drums at the age of sixteen. As soon as he found the drums he wanted to do nothing else. He’s dedicated his life to the instrument. John Joe is an absolute powerhouse of a drummer with a supernatural sense of time and is the bedrock of the band. Widely known as a dynamic and versatile performer, playing nationwide in the UK and Europe John Joe is comfortable with any style of music. John Joe not only performs his duties as the drummer of Red Giant but is also the joker of the band with his wicked sense of humour he keeps everyone laughing. The bassist on the album is Carina Powell who despite her compact stature of only 4’11 is an absolute powerhouse on stage and in the studio. Using her bass both as a lead and supporting instrument. Her hard hitting and percussive style are evident all over this album and it blends seamlessly with David’s guitars and John Joe’s drums.

John Verity
Event Information
John Verity is one of the most consistent performers on the blues rock circuit today, having honed his craft over more than 60 years on the circuit at every level. Born in West Yorkshire he played in many bands in the area and beyond before moving to Florida. While there he opened for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Mountain and others, then on his return to the UK, taking a somewhat different direction with time as front man with Argent. When Argent disbanded John spent time primarily in the studio, producing, recording and guesting with, among many others, Ringo Starr, The Zombies, Smokie, Charlie, Motorhead and Saxon. Jump forward a few years and John is now back out on the road with his own band and experiencing a musical renaissance. “And it would always have been difficult to follow the next act, the triumphant John Verity Band. Verity is best known for his stint as the frontman of Argent in the 1970s, but that was only a brief interruption in a 50-year solo career.” “You are left under no illusion that you are in the hands of a proper musician and vocalist who would have no problem filling a stadium, packing out any club and bringing a festival audience to their feet. Go see him!”
