University of the West of Scotland is launching a record label supported by Scottish music heavyweights.

Damfino Records boasts backing from the likes of Deacon Blue’s Jim Prime and Love and Money’s Paul McGeechan, who both lecture on the University of the West of Scotland’s (UWS) highly regarded music programmes.

The label will be run by students and is specifically designed to provide a platform for exciting new talent emerging from within the university.

Damfino is to release a compilation album on Friday, June 18 via several services including Bandcamp, showcasing an eclectic mix of artists who are based across Scotland.
