. i' I " 71%.. J DANCE CLASS The Desperate Danz Band are back in Glasgow and Edinburgh tor two nights at rockin‘ reels. At their best they drag Scottish dance music into the let century, and the rest of the time they are happy to be the most adventurous band to cater to any Caledonian caper. At Glasgow's Madisons on the 9th, they contribute to a benetit ceiIidh/disco tor Medical Aid to Palestine. In Edinburgh’s Calton Studios on the 7th they share the bill with emerging singer/songwriter lain MacDonald and his band. lain's Gaughan-produced lirst album Beneath Still Waters was judged by some to be the Scottish album of last year, and he steps lurther down his road at marrying a traditional sensibility to a contemporary roots-rock oriented sound.

sedentary excitement, Andy M. Stewart and Manus Lunny, (see photo), with a pedigree stock at Scottish and Irish song trom the former and retined, superbly played guitar and bouzouki from the latter, confidently stimulate and entertain at Glasgow's Star Club on the 3rd and Penicuik on the 8th.
Nostalgia, or plain curiosity, might bring out some 60s’ veterans to both Roy Harper's Glasgow 10th, Edinburgh 11th and Spencer Davis‘ Glasgow 3lst and Edinburgh 1st gigs. A better and tairer reason is that both artists are so good at what they do. Harper's keen intelligence and classic Outsider psychology has chosen to map our decaying island trom the inside, Davis has elected tor the wide open roads ol North America, on the run with his mistress, the blues.
