Friday 14th September, Doors Open 5pm. Music 6pm.
Subrosa. Subrosa, from the Latin ‘sub rosa’ or ‘under the rose’ which means secret, are three people:- Jake, Ross and Iain which soon could be four if Carrie makes it. Jacqueline or (Jake) sings Ross and Iain play guitars and Carrie with luck will be there on fiddle. The sound is Americana, Folk, Indie, the influences are Be Good Tanyas, Jackson Browne, Iron and Wine, Boo Hewerdine and we are not the next big thing. Jake Cogan (Ser/Songwriter) Cast Ewe Band. Cast Ewe Band is a local band with Iain “Ching Chong” Cameron from Glenelg on accordion, Angus “Broken Ankle Kilmore Bull” Nicolson from Sleat on Fred Morrison Pipes, Murdo “Yogi” Cameron from Glenelg on Alesandrini accordion & whistles. Joining them for Drams this year are Hugh “Slucky” MacCallum from Inverlochy on drums and Sean “Sherminater” Gray from Ayr on guitar. The Cast Ewes play traditional music old and new and some rip roaring reels. Walking home from a gig Kilmore Bull says “What’s
that in the middle of the road, is it a sheep?” Ching chong
clarifies “No it’s a cast ewe!” Sheep have a different
look at 4am on Raasay.
Esther O’Conner. Everyone agrees that Esther O'Connor is a blazing new talent: a thoughtful, optimistic singer-songwriter with a slew of great tunes and ear-sticking lyrics. It could be genetic - her father is WET, WET, WET guitarist Graeme Duffin. But don't take the experts' word for it: you need to listen to Move On, the second single from The Place Where We Are, released August 6. Or see Esther at her best, playing live with her five-piece band (which includes her husband and her little brother). Esther has shared the stage with everyone from
the Zutons and Air Traffic to a support slot with Steve Forbert
in Edinburgh's Liquid Rooms. Radio can't get enough of her tuneful,
haunting songs: Tom Morton of Radio Scotland describing her single,
Nirvana Man, as "Neil Young meets Beyonce round at Joni Mitchell’s
house".
The Gypsy Queens & a Dog Leg. Gypsy Queens and a Dog Leg are a recently formed band based in Glasgow but all hail from the West Coast of Scotland. The band are: Ruairaidh Graham (Inflatable Haggis), Breakish, Isle of Skye on percussion, Magnus Graham (Injuns), Breakish, Isle of Skye on guitars, Fiona MacAskill (Catriona Watt Band), Breakish, Isle of Skye on fiddle and Lauren Tait (Catriona Watt Band) on piano. The band formed when a bunch of friends wanted
to play tunes together and consequently found them selves creating
a storm when they played the Sound of Rum Music Festival 2007. Their
music has been best described as vibrant, twisted West Coast tunes
that will keep your mind off the housework for a while at least!!
Skerryvore. SKERRYVORE - An explosive mix of traditional and
contemporary Scottish Their driving sound of bagpipes, accordions and
fiddle fused brilliantly with kicking rhythms of guitar, bass and
drums has seen them appear at various festivals throughout Britain
and Europe including the Hebridean Celtic Festival, MOK Festival,
Celtic Connections and the Celtica Festival in Italy. Daniel Gillespie: Accordion

The Porridge Men. The Porridge Men were formed in Edinburgh by a group of school friends who all shared a love of Scotland's music, culture and heritage, and who all shared a vision to breathe new life into the old tunes. They have, however, taken 10 years to become an overnight success. They first recorded their forward-looking album "Planet Porridge" in 1997, with REL Records. The band really came to prominence, though, when their music was used at the 2006 Winter Olympics, being chosen by Christopher Dean of all people as an ideal representation of modern Scotland. Since then, the band has headlined Tartan Week in New York and also the UEFA Cup Final celebrations in Glasgow in 2007. In between times, the individual band members have
performed and toured the world with a variety of different bands,
from Kanye West to Belle & Now re-formed, re-energised and playing a lot of new exciting sets, as well as the Planet Porridge material, the Porridge Men is a four piece band, who like to draw on a wide range of musical influences from around the globe, and weave those together with some fantastic Scots' tunes. Andrew Horne on drums studied at the RSAMD, and
is now a freelance Emily MacPherson, another RSAMD graduate, has come into the band and brought a new dynamic to the sound of the Porridge Men. She debuted as a Porridge (wo)Man on violin in New York this year, and impressed the audiences there with her range of playing, from Shetland to Highland tunes. The band are thrilled to be coming to Glenelg for
this year's "Drams"
Plus Brendan Hendry & friends and other musical magic over the weekend Brendan Hendry on fiddle, Brendan Mulholland on flute, and Paul McSherry on guitar,this is a sound that gives respect the the Irish tradition, and yet, they have been able to create their own unique sound, bringing together raw power, smoothness, and rhythms, which produces music that reverbs with energy, refinement and superb playing ability, they are currently recording an album ,and one that is being eagerly awaited by a great number of people. |
