BLUEGRASS GARDENS
Familiar sounds; The Deigh A big charity concert, which includes the cream 01 Scotland‘s musicians in the classical, jazz and tolklields is scheduled lorthe 22nd in Edinburgh’s Queens Hall. FiddlerAly Bain is now a household name much further afield than his own Shetland Isles. He appears with spectacularaccordionist Phil Cunningham in their occasional duo lormat. Dick Gaughan‘s abilityto communicate the guts of a song in a beautifully decorated melody owes much to ancient traditional styles, while his superb guitar playing, political commitment and delivery place him firmly in, or probably atthe head of, the contemporary tradition that goes back to Woody Guthrie and the 60's engineers of social-change-through-song.
t . 3 ton Fanny“; Edinburgh 17in. tolk/ethnic/roots concerts is well under way. Lunchtime on Saturday 17th, is when you will lind the Deighton Family, see photo. Father Dave, his Dutch-Indonesian wile Josie and their five children moved from Holland back to Dave‘s old stomping ground in South Yorkshire a few years ago and proceeded to charm the most hard boiled festival and club organisers with their delightful and original music that makes a chutney of bluegrass, cajun, blues, jazz, pop songs and Irish folk. And theirso obvious enjoyment is catching.
ldon’t know what you might catch from Loupin' Larry and Rancid Buffalo, but you can find out when they appear at one of the popular, and free series of music nights in Glasgow's Scotia Bar
