August 30 @ 7:30 pm – 11:00 pm
Retro-celtic non-traditional sci-fi psychedelic rock and roll bubblegum fusion. A mix of Irish, folk and rock’n’roll tradition, in a retro futurist cinemagraphic universe… A celtic, 50’s sci-fi, electric experience fuelled by hundreds of years of cultural heritage and half a century’s worth of genre inspiration, Celtic Vagabond are a dazzling display of pure unadulterated love for our collective musical roots and a deeply-rooted nostalgia for the bands of our childhood.
P@ddy “King of the Rocket Men” O’Turner brings his own very personal angle to traditional Irish music, Like no other. The seventh son of the seventh son of a guitar maker, dragged around folk festivals as a young boy and made to learn the violin. He was usually the bow going in the wrong direction in the orchestra so gave up violin forever (or so he thought at the time) in favour of a guitar. He learned to rock, he learned to roll, he learned to set houses on fire.
Amos “The Mad Scientist” Von Furon, a student of the musical arts brings to the table a timeless mix of both old and new instruments, paying homage to folk tradition while pulling us gently into the future with otherworldly sounds seemingly taken directly from space itself.
Nino “El Baterista” Del Garcia Del Gomez. He hits stuff. A very serious percussionist. Just out of prison. Don’t mess with him.
Sunday 30th August, doors 7.30pm. £7.50 adv. Support TBA.
