The Hikers: The Story

---

On June 15, 2021, Alex Thomas Crawford and Cameron Rankin decided to form a band, and together, they became The Hikers.

​

Cameron, a former actor with a passion for singing and Alex, a musician who had played solo for a long while decided that to play the music they would both enjoy, it had to be Folk Music.

​

Both being Scottish, they decided to play several Scottish songs and recorded Flower Of Scotland as their first single recording. They soon released it to Spotify and have since had over 200 listens on the track on all platforms.

​

On the 30th of April 2022, The Hikers performed their first-ever concert together, Live At ONE Church Scotland in Coatbridge. The concert was incredibly successful, with The Hikers receiving huge praise for their efforts in which they raised over £900 for the Schiehallion Ward within the Glasgow Children's Hospital for Cameron's niece, Katie who had received care at the ward for a brain tumour.

​

At present, The Hikers have now performed over 5 Concerts.
