The reason for such anticipation about this invitation-only affair was that the band is the new musical vehicle for actor and Edinburgh resident Ewan Bremner, still probably best known as Spud in Trainspotting. Fronting a band that included Salsa Celtica drummer Toby Shippey and Bremner's daughter Harmony and her mother on backing vocals, ExitMan played five originals which channelled a form of stripped-down acoustic soul featuring Bremner's cracked Caledonian croon and guitar playing that recalled swing-era Vic Godard. With a host of friends and family in attendance, Bremner proved himself a charismatic frontman.
