I Said Yes

27 January 2009
By Lynn Roberts

They say:

‘i said yes’ are a group of friends who started out recording low budget covers of contemporary ‘pop’ tunes back in 2006.

They’ve come a long way since then, playing their first gig at the Wee Red Bar in Edinburgh (November 2007), supporting Molly Wagger and have now played in more than one city worldwide.

Listeners of XFM Scotland voted ‘i said yes’ ‘band of the week’ back in February 2008, and then Martin Bate chose to feature ‘pointless conversation’ on XFM’s ‘new music rising’ podcast on the 16th Feb 2008, which was pretty exciting,

‘i said yes’ recently spent 5 days in Joe Robertson’s attic in Portobello recording three new songs which you can listen to above. Without Joe’s patience and brilliance, they’d be but a shadow of the recordings that they are now.
