Orphan Fledgling

about

'Orphan Fledgling' is the name of the solo recordings of James Finlay. He began writing songs at the age of 15 in 2006 when he teamed up with school friend Brendan Scott and spent many days in the music wing working on a song titled 'The Cold Wind'. It didn't take long for Brendan to be included in the musical plans of Finlay and his best friend Chris Jeisman. In 2007, the three met Enya VanRensburg who was looking for a band. As the bassist (Finlay), pianist/keyboardist (Scott) and drummer (Jeisman) were lacking a singer and guitarist, and Enya here provided talent like none of them had seen before and so became part of the band then known as Vapour Trails. The band did not begin practising and jamming together regularly until December 2008. However, by May 2009, the band had changed its name to Colour on Film, Brendan had become largely unavailable due to his being the only band member at uni and Enya was falling out of contact with the rest of the band and singing for another. These two things deeply frustrated Finlay and Jeisman who both felt strong urges to pursue song-writing. Finlay decided to continue recording songs he had written as he had done in the past to show other band members what he had in mind outside practices. He is currently in the process of recording demo's for his upcoming release currently under the working title of 'The Orphan Fledgling E.P.' however, there is a possibility that this may gain yet more tracks and become an album.
