MOVING HEARTS
Three great groups from lreland emerged successively over the last twenty years, setting up sympathetic resonances in the iolk scenes all over Europe, North America and Australia. The merging of traditional torms and instruments with sophisticated harmony and rhythmic ensemble playing was increasingly obvious in Planxty and the Bothy Band, and with an inventive use of rock instruments and phrasing, the latest, it not the last of Donal Lunny’s musical directorships - Moving Hearts. The re-iormed group play their only Scottish date in Edinburgh (26 June). Their set will be an all instrumental showcase oi the high quality musicianship that is a hallmark oi one oi the most distinctively exciting sounds in 803' rock/pop/tolk. More of a rock hand than anything, they just happen to use two uillean pipers among the electric guitars, drum kit, percussion, electric bass and keyboards. And a superb jazz saxophonist whose interplay with the pipes contribute so much to the wildness ol the sound. With singers Christy Moore and Mick Hanley they acquitted themselves well enough and were a big success, but the
'1 * v
instrumental breaks and sets were always the best part of those line-ups and the release of their all-instrumental album The Storm proved it. All other groups trying to fuse, graft or amalgamate traditional and modern music torms seem muddy and dull in comparision. Economic necessity saw the group tolding a year or so ago, but it has re-tormed tor a tour, due mainly to the loss the musicians lelt, gigging in rock bands, jazz groups or sessioning in studios. They all missed the experience at playing in the Hearts.
