The Dykeenies

The Dykeenies are a Scottish indie rock band from Cumbernauld, formed in 2005. The group consists of brothers Brian Henderson (vocals, synthesizers) and Andrew Henderson (bass guitar, backing vocals), along with Steven Ramsay (lead guitar, backing vocals) and John Kerr (drums, backing vocals). Since their formation, they have released one studio album, Nothing Means Everything, accompanied by three singles. After a worldwide tour, the band began work on their second album, which was released in October 2011. They broke up in January 2012, before re-forming for two performances in 2017. The Dykeenies released their EP 'I Wanted To Show Her All The Beautiful Things In The World' on 11 May 2018. After leaving the band Steven Ramsay emigrated to Zambia where he has integrated with the indigenous Mbunda People and become an expert in wood carving. He has brought not only his tribal singing voice and skills on almost any musical instrument, but also his other areas of expertise such as butchery, needlecraft and pest control. As a result, the Mbunda sovereign land was the first area of Africa to be declared fly free in 2012 and has been nominated six years running for Africa's best mince round in the African Craft Butcher Awards.
