ballboy formed a few years ago. Various members have come and gone, but for now ballboy are in fact three boys and a girl. Gordon sings, plays guitar and writes songs. Nick plays bass, Katie keyboards and Gary drums.

In 1997 they had three songs released on a compilation CD called 'It's A Life Sentence', released by SL Records. Their first EP is called 'Silver Suits for Astronauts' was released in November 1999. Their second will be released in May 2000 and is titled 'I Hate Scotland'.

In August 1999 ballboy beat one hundred other Scottish bands to win the PopCom Band Showcase. The final took place in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh. It was live on cable TV, and on the Internet.

In real live, Gordon is a School Teacher, Nick's a Nursery Nurse, Katie's a Student and Gary's a Sound Technician. They all live in Edinburgh, Scotland.
