SPACE patients come in all guises, and Bwani Junction singer and guitarist Rory Fairweatheris is just one of many that has passed through the Dalry Road doors seeking comfort from pain.
He was a patient whilst still at school, but although the band was already frequently practising at the expense of his exercise programme (the group's been around in some guise for around 8 years already) it was 2011 that the group played in Maida Vale and on the BBC Introducing Stage at T in the Park (remember this link in the summertime? T in the Park 2011 ).
The band's exotic name comes from a bastardisation of the 1956 Ava Gardner political film, Bhowani Juntion. Suggestions were offered by SPACE at the time-and rejected...Edinburgh listings magazine 'The Skinny', which encompasses all things music, arts, & culture in the capital, speaks of the group in the following enthused way:"with their ‘playful’ artwork and fresh Afro-Caribbean sounds, Edinburgh quartet Bwani Junction have been brightening up the musical underbelly of Auld Reekie and beyond for some time."
The album is, regrettably for their parents, called 'Fully Cocked' and is released via Aksatak Records on 14 Nov. They can be seen playing Avalanche Records, Edinburgh on 14 Nov (5pm); LAID at Bloc, Glasgow on 23 Nov; support to The Pigeon Detectives at The Liquid Room, Edinburgh on 25 Nov, and are spending the end of this remarkable year by headlining the legendary King Tut's, Glasgow on 30 Dec.

Just don't expect any exercise advice from Rory, that's all...
