KAN with Guidewires and Bard
Please Note: This is a past event.
Named for the mythical Mayan seed of vision and dreams that flowered through melody and harmony, fronted by flute/whistle genius Brian Finnegan (Flook) and demon fiddler Aidan O’Rourke (Lau), KAN further cross-fertilise the mix with guitarist Ian Stephenson and drummer Jim Goodwin’s fiendishly inventive rhythms. After two years’ live development, tonight’s set showcases material from their eagerly-awaited debut album.
Guidewires are another instrumental powerhouse, comprising Irishmen Pádraig Rynne (concertina), Tóla Custy (fiddle), Paul McSherry (guitar) and Karol Lynch (bouzouki), plus Brittany’s Sylvain Barou (flute), whose new album Guidewires II – featuring guest vocalist Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill – won comparisons to Lúnasa and At First Light.
Completing the triple bill is London-based folk band Bard who tonight launch their debut album. The band have gone from strength-to-strength since the recent release of their three-track sampler EP and have been picking up airplay across the BBC including Iain Anderson at BBC Radio Scotland and Mairead MacLennan at BBC Radio nan Gaidheal.
