Brian Henderson is a lad from Cumbernauld on the outskirts of Glasgow. Having a passion for music from a young age, it was not all that surprising that 'Brido' would form a Rock/Indie band 'The Dykeenies' (2005) alongside his brothers Andy & Alan. What might have came as a surprise to some was the almost overnight success the band would achieve.
Having entered a music competition for aspiring bands through 'NME' which the lads would win, they were quickly selling out venues of 3-5 hundred in & around Glasgow & forging a reputation. This would attract interest from several labels, eventually landing the lads a Record Deal with Lavolta Records (subsidiary of Sony).
The next couple of years were a whirlwind & The Dykeenies would be suporting The Fratellis & Maximo Park & rubbing shoulders with the likes of The Killers, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, even Lady Gaga amongst others. Touring Britain & beyond playing gigs & festivals the crowds had reached 10,000 at the likes of TITP with the largest being 30,000!
Of course all good things come to an end & the band would split in 2011. However Brian's own personal battles with the likes of addiction, depression & a diagnosis of Bipolar would reach boiling point in 2018. Thankfully he is here to tell the story.
Plenty laughs, banter & raw emotion in Episode 9.
