Scocha
Scocha are a self-proclaimed 'Folk and Roll' band from Hawick, Scotland. They first became popular after the release of their first album Bordering On, in 2001. They were founded by Iain Scott and David Chapman, who were later joined by Phil Clayton and then Alan Brydon.[1] After then, they steadily grew in popularity and are now a well known band in the Scottish Borders and beyond. They have released four albums: Bordering on, The Land We Love, Gie'd Sum Wellie[1] and Scocha Live, as well as a live DVD which captures the atmosphere of one of their gigs. They performed before 15,000 people at the biggest highland games in North America(The Glengarry Highland Games) in July 2008, where they returned to headline again in July 2010[2], and have played at Tartan Week in New York many times.[3]
