Artists
Uninvited
Formed after a series of chance meetings on public transport in Dundee and Glasgow, Ray Dillon, Gillian Dhlakama, Bex Young and Fiorenza Cocozza became Uninvited in August 2020. Fuelled by a desire to become the change they wanted to see, the four-piece began to write songs that brought the LGBTQ+ conversation to the forefront – challenging traditional tropes of indie music and putting their own indelible stamp on the genre.

They have developed a sound and aesthetic that transcends the boundaries of current guitar music and sees the band look towards the pop world with an unwavering ambition and burning momentum. Despite being a band for just over a year, a groundswell of hype has already formed around THE BIG DAY perpetuated by their rapidly growing fanbase.
