From the fresh cold climate of Scotland, singer songwriter Scott Candlish has returned to his hometown of Melbourne after spending two and a half years in Edinburgh. Since returning he has been back playing his indie folk music both as a solo artist and with his full band playing headline shows at the likes of Retreat Hotel, Workers Club and the Wesley Anne. In late November of 2019, Candlish released a brand new music video of his track 'Waiting for the Day', the first single from his most recent EP.
 

In response to the Covid-19 crisis, Candlish created a fundraising campaign labelled Your Thursday Nights COVID. The campaign involved weekly live streamed performances raising money for Support Act and Beyond Blue. As a musician significantly affected by the crisis and heavily reliant on the music industry, he began the campaign as an attempt to recover lost income and salvage some form of live performing. 
The event was hugely successful in raising over $5000 and featured some of Melbourne’s finest local musicians as special guests.

Making the big move and lifestyle change early in 2017, the songwriter began refining his alt-folk style with regular shows in the vibrant UK city. An explosive start to 2019 saw the release of his third EP ‘A Little While, a Bit of Time’ before embarking on his first European tour. Beginning with a packed out launch show in Edinburgh, the launch tour included dates in Manchester, Glasgow and Sofar Sounds showcases in both London and Paris.
