"Gadarene at Folklahoma"

I popped into Folklahoma, née the Magpie's Nest, tonight to catch a set by Gadarene – the new(ish) tunes band featuring Laurel Swift on double bass, Matt Norman (a.s.w. Jackie Oates) on electric mandolin, Nick Whyke (as in "& Becky Driscoll) on fiddle and Si Paull (the dreadlocked drummer with Ella Edmondson's band) on, er, drums. Anyway, very briefly - extremely good: imaginative, interesting tunes, well arranged and played with yer proverbial gusto. And some clogs. Recommended to be checked out.

Bio

Gadarene blends obscure traditional English tunes, virtuoso acoustic musicians combined with funky beats and loads of energy. Gadarene creates a sophisticated and exciting performance, drawing on many diverse musical influences, yet making a sound that is all their own.

The band's repertoire focuses on unusual and compelling tunes, carefully researched from Eighteenth and Nineteenth century manuscripts. Gadarene attacks these glorious tunes with the raw energy and verve often associated with the cream of traditional dance musicians.
