January's
free concert
A capacity audience was
royally entertained at
January’s Crabshell concert.
Talented local musicians put on
stunning performances. It all
started with singer/songwriter James
Montague. He rose to the
challenge of introducing us to
his own original, self-penned
songs. These are provoking and
based on personal experiences.
One centred around his
observation that “ethical
eating is an aspiration but in
practice is impossible to
accomplish”. Then Jon
Hardy with Jerry, Rich and Dan,
collectively “Dust
Devils”, burst onto
the stage. With solid vocals,
guitars, mandolin, beat box and
great banjo picking, we were
treated to a variety of
traditional Americana and
contemporary covers in a
breath-taking non-stop set. After
the interval Banned from
the Moor, in a departure
from their regular Ceilidh work,
did us a concert set. It may be
fair to say that for most, one
violin is normally enough, but in
the case of Banned, fiddlers
Jayne and Rhona are a treat to
listen to. They are lively and
the way they complement each
other’s playing is
magnificent. They were powerfully
driven by the backing of Clive,
Mel and Steve on bass, guitar and
drums. Their set concluded a
great evening. |
