Perth band in bid to help search for missing frontman

Members of a Perth band have described the “difficult” process of producing an EP to aid search efforts for their frontman, who has gone missing in Germany.

The Best Kept Secret EP, which features Liam Colgan’s voice, was released on Good Friday by his group Waterday.

The 29-year-old is the singer and rhythm guitarist for the band, which was formed in Tayside almost a decade ago while all four members were studying music at Perth College.

Every penny raised from the single will aid the search for Dundee United fan Mr Colgan, who disappeared while on brother Eamonn’s stag weekend in the early hours of February 10.

Friends and relatives last saw the 29-yearold in the Veermaster Bar, after which he was identified on CCTV footage from the Baumwall area.

The Inverness man’s family believe he is alive and may have suffered a concussion and memory loss following a fall on the night he went missing.

Waterday bassist and vocalist Danny Kelly said putting the EP together with fellow band members Jordan McKay and Jonny Tait was an emotional process as the songs Best Kept Secret and Malcom’s Hero feature Mr Colgan’s voice.

The idea to produce a single came after Waterday played during the One for Liam event which took place across Mr Colgan’s home city of Inverness early last month.

Pub-goers were asked to donate the cost of an extra drink towards the search to find the musician.

Mr Kelly said the money will go towards whatever the search effort may need.

“We all still believe he is out there. We are doing whatever we can,” he said.

The EP features three songs: a mixture of unreleased songs and new recordings.

Waterday’s single can be purchased from iTunes.
