About me

Solo singer and guitarist with a crowd-pleasing repertoire, catering for all ages and occasions

Hello! I'm Scott Sutherland-Thomson. I have loved singing and playing guitar for over 30 years. From The Beatles to Greenday to Beyonce, my repertoire includes something for everyone and my soulful acoustic pop and country style ensures that each cover has a special, original touch.

My love for music has brought me so much joy! I took up guitar at the age of 15. At 16 I began playing and singing covers in my four man band, the Faraways, and began writing original songs. We performed at venues such as The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen and the Caird Hall in Dundee.

With a busy family life, I have spent the last few years singing to my family and close friends. I thought it time to give them a break! My loving wife, Pauline, told me that if I didn’t get back out and show the world (and my two sons!) what I can do, she’d divorce me! There’s nothing like a threat from the woman I love for motivation!

My professional experience, enthusiasm and easygoing way will make for a performance that ensures your event is one to remember.

I am a prolific songwriter and I would love to write a unique song just for you to add something extra special to your celebration.

Reviews

'Scott's rendition of When I'm Sixty-four by the Beatles brought tears and laughter as my wife and I shared our 64th birthday (and 39 years of marriage) last week.' Sid, Boca Raton, Florida
