“Long Earth is a prog rock band with members living in Scotland. We came together by a series of fortunate but unexpected coincidences. A bunch of musicians who just wanted to create and have fun. We originally just got together to jam and see what came about, things went well and so we realized that we had become a band.
In 2017 LONG EARTH released their debut album "The Source", proving popular with both prog fans, DJs and rock writers alike, and began building a local audience at their gigs around Glasgow. "The Source" was a serious statement of intent, showcasing the instrumental and songwriting prowess of the band. However, their distinctive identity was not fully formed until the arrival of Martin Haggarty as the band's new vocalist in 2018 during the writing sessions for the second album, the album that was to become "Once Around The Sun".
