    Default Luke Plum & Peter Daffy

    Blackstairs Lounge, Sunday 20th September

    Luke Plumb
    of
    Shooglenifty

    &

    Peter Daffy
    of
    Funky String Band

    "Luke Plumb, originally from Hobart and now international mandolin celebrity with the very wonderful Shooglenifty, is a fine tunesmith and astonishing instrumentalist. He had been playing traditional Celtic tunes in pub sessions in Australia when he received a challenge he couldn’t refuse. Shooglenifty was touring Down Under, and needed a replacement for its mandolinist, who’d recently left. Would he care to fill in for a few shows?

    Luke is now the band's principal writer, but he likes to change the style a little every now and then with his old pal Peter Daffy. Peter is also a great player, and well known as a maker of very high quality guitars - and Luke's mandolins.

    "Luke Plumb displays a blistering virtuisity ... he celebrates the musical ingenuity of the mandolin and the deep resonant poetry within traditional Irish and Scottish music." - Songlines magazine.

    Support at the Edwyn Collins gig, as far as am aware, comes from the 1990s.

    maybe compared to gigs down the line, but this gig's only a short bus journey away.

    But how often do people spend 15-20 quid on a ticket for a popular band, take two days annual leave, spend another £50+ to take an 8 hour train journey to Glasgow or Edinburgh and then spend another wad of cash sleeping in a travelodge or kippin on a mates floor just to see one band then do that 8 hour journey back home?

    I seen them a couple of years ago at TITP and they were very good IMHO.

    Also, people say that popular bands never make the effort to come up north, and if they do then its to play Orkney and they usually ignore Caithness. This band chooses to make an effort and play a gig in caithness, would it be fair to moan about paying an extra 10 or 15 quid?

    Sorry if I sound like a gurn but I think its a bargain, especially for a Saturday night when most people wouldnt think twice about payin £8 just to enter a nightclub.
