'Frets' - Spring 2006'

"There’s this amazing 6-string bass player named Kevin Glasgow, a Scottish kid named Ben MacDonald, and a British chap named Alex Hutchings who cop a lot of my licks, but they’re taking it to another level by combining sweeping with tapping, which is something I love but don’t do.”

'The Bongo Club', Edinburgh'

"Attempting to recreate the flow of a DJ set, the 10 piee band, made up from some of the finest players on the Edinburgh jazz scene - with the hyper-kinetic fretboard meltdown bass of Kevin Glasgow unfortunately often lost in the sound mix - stomp through sets of standards, originals and surprises."

"After this shockingly beautiful music came the 'bandass' fusion of awesome guitar player Alex Hutchings and his 'Project'. Astonishing playing ensued from all of them but star of the show for me (as a fellow bassist) was 22-year-old Edinburgh bassist Kevin Glasgow. Soloing with amazing command of his six string bass, the crowd whooped as he went into overdrive, delivering some of the night's most audacious chops."

"A new generation of jazz music and musicians was brilliantly represented by Friday night funksters, The Backbeat Band, featuring the furious fretwork of 19 year old Kevin Glasgow making a so solid case for the electric bass. Discovered playing at The Bridge Bar's jam sessions, this prodigious talent was a physical embodiment of why the loss of the venue is such a loss to the city, ...."

'Tour Diary - 2002'

"Of particular note was an electric bass player called Kevin Glasgow (from Edinburgh) who has developed a two handed tapping soloing technique like nothing any of us had seen or heard before. Amazing. Lovely laid back feel too. And he's only 19! Definitely a name for the future. Watch out!"
