About
Three Card Trick are one of Scotland's hardest working groups! Currently performing over 20 shows a month all over the UK and recently branching out to Europe, you're in safe and experienced hands with this trio of energetic, fun loving, talented party animals. Covering everything from ABBA to ZZ Top via hits from Bryan Adams, Kings of Leon, Bowie, Queen, The Beatles, Robbie Williams, The Rolling Stones, The Killers... test the boys - you got a song you wanna hear - they'll either play it or learn it for you in no time!
Three Card Trick have been performing together for 4 years, currently reaching audiences as far afield as Paris with their energetic and slick stage show. Gary Johnstone toured for 3 years with The Elvis Collection and worked with David Bowie tribute Starman Live and was also hand picked to support blues legends Johnny Winter and John Mayall on their recent UK tours.
They are three enthusiastic, professional and youthful yet incredibly well experienced musicians, all with music performance degrees (two from Perth College, one from Napier, Edinburgh) who after two years on Glasgow's south side pub circuit know how to read and entertain even the toughest of audiences! They understand that booking a live band is not just about the music, it's about creating a party atmosphere for audiences of all ages! They also have an 'anything goes' policy - if you shout out a song you want, even if we've only ever heard it once, on the radio, on the way to the gig - we'll give it a bash :-) !
Three Card Trick also use only the best musical equipment by Fender, Yamaha, Sabian, Wharfedale and Peavey, and at the average age of 25, they create an extremely professional sound and look for such a refreshingly young outfit, giving more seasoned performers a run for their money at every turn!
There's a reason the Three Card Trick boys are such a busy bunch - they bring the party to you - how you want it - every time!
Where are they based?
Based in Glasgow but play regularly throughout Scotland and across the UK.
