The Sound Of Water

Ross Alcock (The Sound Of Water) joined the Glasgow band H2O in 1979 as a songwriter and keyboardist. They released their first independent single "Hollywood Dream" in 1981 and after signing to RCA Records continued to have chart success throughout the 80s, releasing singles “Dream To Sleep”, "Just Outside Of Heaven", "Who'll Stop The Rain" and 'Take My Breath Away", and the studio album 'Faith". The band's final release "Blue Diamond" was in 1987. Ross left the band to become a nuclear physicist and eventually Operations Manger at Hunterston Nuclear Power Station in Ayrshire until 2020. H2O occasionally reunited for gigs, notably in 1993 for Radio Clyde’s Cash for Kids and in 2003 to celebrate 20 Years of “Dream to Sleep” at the famous Glasgow venue King Tut’s . Ross started writing songs again during lockdown and released his debut solo album 'Dreamsongs' in 2023. The Sound Of Water formed as a band in November 2024 to play live and the new album 'Life In Gravity Town' was released in February 2025.
