High & Lonesome and Oporto present...

Fiskur - 5pm on Facebook for Music Venue Trust #saveourvenues
Now Tuesday 15th May, 2020 #OportoTV

Fiskur was formed by Glasgow songwriter Ross Clark, previously the frontman of Three Blind Wolves, both much loved sailors of the good ship Oporto.

After Three Blind Wolves ended, Ross was left spinning in the wake of big changes, unsure what to do next. Returning to his roots and taking time for himself, Ross spent a lot of time fly fishing in the River Kelvin. During these lazy afternoons knee-keep in rushing water, he found some much-needed solace and inspiration. With fresh clarity and led by the desire to be challenged, the first songs for the record were created.
Ross then joined forces with longtime friends Andy Monaghan and Chris McGarry to complete the Fiskur sound. Focusing on more electronic sounds from Andy and the driving thump of Chris’ drums, Fiskur’s first record is an exploration into insecurity, and the basic fears and hopes we all share in life. Ross’s songs take an honest look at how even at one’s lowest, we are still driven to change and grow.

Oporto is part of a national initiative launched by Artists, the Music Venue Trust and Independent Venue Week to help prevent the closure of hundreds of Grassroots Music Venues. Our venue faces closure due to rising bills and the inability to open in this ongoing crisis. Your donations will be used to secure the future of Oporto, Knave's Kitchen and the live music we host and support.

You can donate directly here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/saveoporto

100% of your donations go to saving the bar, no fees are taken. If we hit our target, and we can prevent the closure of our venue, everything above the amount we need will be donated to the Music Venue Trust GMV Crisis Fund to protect other venues just like ours, right across the country.
