The band has been back in rehearsals and is set to play its first show of 2012 on Tuesday 7th February at Acoustic Edinburgh. The band will headline the night, and entry is FREE.

Please see the Live Dates page for full details of upcoming shows.

2011 ended with a new release - Douglas's Christmas EP, On Christmas Day - and all being well there should be a full Douglas Kay album out before summer 2012 (an as yet untitled solo album). Keep checking back for details and also keep an eye on Twitter (@douglaskay.com) and the DKB Facebook page for the very latest updates as they happen.

Although Christmas and the time for singing festive songs may have passed, you can still buy the 2 non-Christmas tracks from the On Christmas Day E.P. which is on sale in all the main download stores including iTunes, Spotify and Napster. The two additional songs on the E.P. come from different times - The Quiet Life was written and recorded during October 2011 while In The Sunlight is a new recording of one of the first songs Douglas wrote.

Douglas has finished recording some new solo acoustic tracks. Mixing and mastering is set to begin with an album release planned for a little later in the year.

A video of Everything in the World Outside's Alright, filmed by Gav Brown at the first Acoustic Edinburgh Sunday Session in May, is now available to view online. To watch, click here.

There is now a track available to hear EXCLUSIVELY at the DKB Facebook site. The track is an alternative version of Everything In The World Outside's Alright which features Chris Smallwood on saxophone. Chris has played sax at a number of the band's gigs over the past couple of years, including the launch for Into Your Head and the Ben & Jerry's Festival last summer.

The Merchandise pages of this website are now be stocking Douglas Kay Band t-shirts. The t-shirts come in a variety of designs, colours and sizes and we have both Men's and Ladies' fit t-shirts. Check them out using the tab above or by clicking here.

Of course all the Douglas Kay / Douglas Kay Band CDs - and the USB edition of Into Your Head - are still on sale there too.

Album Launch
The band completed a trio of gigs which launched the new album, Into Your Head in early December. The official launch party at Edinburgh's Voodoo Rooms on 20th November saw the band perform to a sell-out crowd after sets by special guests United Wire and Paul Gilbody. Also performing were writers Martin Philip - who read an extract from his novel Groove - and Grant Gillies, who read his short story The Hard Way and the Right Way are Usually the Same Way.

The DKB set featured a number of guest musicians, including saxophonist Chris Smallwood who was making a second appearance with the band having joined them on satge in London earlier this year.

On Saturday 21st November the band headlined the final Fondoo music night at the Eastgate Theatre in Peebles. Another sell-out crowd enjoyed a set which in a sense bookended Fondoo, Douglas Kay Band having been the headline act at the very first of the monthly nights back in January 2008.

The last of the three gigs was something of a homecoming for the band as the guys returned to Acoustic Edinburgh on 1st December, a superb night which has played host to DKB many times.

Some video footage from the gigs can be seen on the Audio & Video page.
