Forgetting The Future 
Thurso band Forgetting The Future have a confidence and sound that would be the envy of many more established bands. Mainly playing gigs in their native Scotland, The band have been together for around 2 years. Perhaps the clear air of The Highlands is responsible for the quality of Robbie Mcnichol’s voice, which is tremulous and perfect. Forgetting The Future’s music is at the rock end of indie with loads of guts and a really tight sound. Every member of the band holds things together perfectly – Connor Wilson on drums, Jamie Mackay on lead guitar and Max Paul on Bass.
