Sparrow and the Workshop Concert History

Sparrow and the Workshop are a three-piece based in Glasgow consisting of Belfast-born, Chicago-raised Jill O’Sullivan (vocals, acoustic guitar), Welshman Nick Packer (guitar, bass, basstard) and Scotsman Gregor Donaldson (drums, vocals). They formed in early 2008 and released a single and EP on Distiller in 2009, followed by their first album 'Crystals Fall' in early 2010. In 2011 they released their second album 'Spitting Daggers' and are gearing up to release their third album on Song, by Toad Records in May 2013.
