Gav Prentice is a Glasgow based musician, writer and all round funny man (go to a gig or watch some vines for full details). He formed half of the sadly missed electro pop due Over The Wall. Now concentrating on his solo work and side projects which includes work with the National Theatre of Scotland (Rantin and Tin Forest).
'The Invisible Hand' was released in 2012 on Instinctive Racoon Records during a break from Over The Wall. The album consists of striped back acoustic songs which after listening to Over The Wall came as a complete surprise but for me this shows off how strong Prentice's song writing is - particularly on 'Coatbridge 1967' and 'Burning Down'. Lo-fi recording 'I Know That' is another highlight.
Prentice also does a cracking Robert Burns cover. His cover of 'Ae Fond Kiss' appears as the closing track on his album 'The Invisible Hand'. He also recorded an exclusive version of 'My Luve's Like a Red Red Rose' for our charity album.
After the rise and fall of Over The Wall Prentice continued to treat us to some solo tracks including 'You Can Only Run' and the brilliant 'Where The Streets Have Royal Names' which is available to download for free on Gav's Soundcloud.

Throughout 2014 Prentice wrote a couple of fantastic articles in support of Scottish Independence for the National Collective. They can be read here:
Replacing British Values (5/1/2014)
'Ideological' Is Not An Insult (7/5/2014)
On Being Patronised (19/6/2014)
Genetic Programming and The Ability to Rule Yourself (9/9/2014)
Towards the end of 2014 Prentice debuted his new band ULTRAS. With very little information on the band shared their first track 'This Is Where I Fall'.
Taken from the bands website - ULTRAS is a music act from Glasgow founded in 2014. ULTRAS is also a word used by young people throughout Europe to describe their pride in where they've come from, their friends, the way that they celebrate their culture, and their solidarity with one another.
The band released their debut single in May this year. 'The Path to Getting Paid'.
