Soundhouse: Acolyte

Acolyte is an Edinburgh-based poetic and psychedelic ensemble, founded in 2018.

Described by The Skinny as a ‘supergroup’, Acolyte is made up of bassist Ruairidh Morrison (The Dark Jokes, The Microband), with synth and backing vocals from Gloria Black (Maranta), percussionist Daniel Hill and fronted by award-winning poet and spoken-word artist, Iona Lee. Acolyte fuse soundscapes with storytelling, hypnotic loops, harmonic depth and existential motifs to create truly unique performances and a genre-defying sound.

The Traverse Theatre is funded by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council.
