‘Shooglenifty’ with ‘Willie & Tabs MacAskill’ and ‘DJ Dolphin Boy’
27 September, 2014 @ 8:30 pm
£12
Shooglenifty are one of Scotland’s most unique musical exports, credited with being the originators of ‘acid-croft’, a fiery and infectious blend of Celtic traditional music and dance grooves that band members describe as ‘hypno-folkadelic ambient trad’.
A supremely dexterous and witty live band, their energetic live performances have kept them in constant demand around the world. Their fiery instrumental lyricism, pulsating with infectious rhythm and drive, creates a sound that is at once epic and inclusive, soulful and stirring, and commands a musical presence that takes the crowd by the hands and dances them on an exhilarating romp through unchartered and fiercely exciting new territory.
“…a bit like a jam between the Tannahill Weavers, Phish and The Chemical Brothers.”
Chicago Tribune
Support are well-known acoustic duo Willie and Tabs MacAskill, formerly of the critically acclaimed alt-country band, The Lush Rollers, entertaining us with their fine guitar work and unmistakable brotherly harmonies.
