@@malcolm1148 Pour yourself a little whisky , take it to the abbey give it Laldy . A place where the English didn’t manage take away our Native Language 🏴✊
@@ivandinsmore6217 - loved Andy Stewart . . he was a major talent ! My love of Andy Stewart or any other Scottish singer is not diminished by these lads.
reminiscent of early Richard Thompson band with John Kirkpatrick on accordion and Pete Mattacks on drums. Check out the More Guitar album (different drummer but that same driving interaction between the three instruments)
Quality stuff lads. Loch Maree is a personal favourite. Also like your take on Tony Rice's ""I've waited as long as I can". It's a great bluegrass tune.
What a pleasure it'd be to know someone who goes by the name of "Middenface McNulty". (edit) After doing a bit of research it seems you were talking about a character from 2000 AD. I had thought you were just talking about a guy called Middenface McNulty giving it laldy in a pub called The Strontium Dog. 😂🤣
The bass sound is coming from Uilly's accordion, or more specifically it's what his left hand is playing. I think it's a midi accordion so it's probably patched into something to make a bass guitar sound rather than what a traditional accordion would produce. It's easier to see in the HMV Instore gig clip that his left hand is moving in time with the bass sound.
Great Music from the lads, from listening to the Cundeez and learning of their partnership with Peat and Diesel, its good to be open to new music rather than the usual charty stuff. Everybody looked like they pure lapped up the event. 👍
The music is great. It makes me sad that so many American scots have no idea where they’re from. We just get labeled ‘white’ as if we’re the English swine ourselves. Our culture is so rich but we just get lumped in.
Carson a tha thu a strumming like a folk group when you rocking a like 1985 hair metal Ibanez 24 fret with a Floyd Rose? càit a bheil mo fucking sweep tapping?
I bet they were conflicted about playing to such an over privileged bunch. As someone already remarked. Over 300k for their new year party at the UK's expense...
Because times change and music evolves. These guys have done similar to what the pogues done with Irish music, their own compositions mixed with classic traditional songs. Perhaps not to everyone's taste but clearly enjoyed by lots from the other comments here.
Well, Andy Stewart passed away in 1993 & BBC Alba launched in 2008. . In the 1960s I watched the White Heather Club, now I watch Alba. Still listen to Andy Stewart & the Alexander Brothers, but love Peat & Diesel as an authentic Scottish voice for the 2010s & 2020s.
I think Andy Stewart would enjoy this-he was a man who enjoyed bringing all the little quirks of Scottish culture and celebrating them in all their glory-exactly what p+d do.
Great days...people actually enjoying themselves..."ooh we must stop this and oppress them"...and the rest,as they say,is history. A shameful,disgraceful situation we're now "existing" in.
It costs the UK a fortune to sponsor BBC Alba. Even proud English see the worth if music like yours! This music is Western Isles aggressive but, you have a good audience south of Carlisle. Curious this New Year Alba however was in Motherwell? Is it true that Alba New Year 2020 cost £370,000 paid by the UK. Whilst I love these musicians, it is also true that living in Surrey ; I pay a 35 pence surcharge per mile into London to subsidise Scotrail. If Sturgeon gets her way ,I for one, born in the Highlands, will make it my life's work to attack the SNP ruination of Scotland, starting with the bad manners of Alba about funding.
Mach a seo leis "costs UK" and as fot the rest of your comment, London is subsidised more than the whole of Scotland. That's London, not the whole of England! Some Highlander attacking Scots. Related to the Campbells per chance 🥱🥱🥱
Alba still belongs to the BBC, not anything to do with Holyrood/Scotgov, etc. Same goes for 'Scotrail/Abelio/whoever the heck it is now - These franchises are the work of Tory/Uk Gov privatisations. Band are good, nonetheless...
Good heavens, what a mean-spirited comment. As if Scots didn't pay taxes and TV licenses the same as anyone else in other parts of the UK. It may have escaped your notice, but "the UK" also "sponsors" content-making for the BBC in England, in Wales (and specifically Welsh-language content), and in Northern Ireland too, you know. You don't get your English programming for free either. You pay your licence fee. And "the UK" provides grants to media companies across England, partly with funds raised in Scotland. BBC TV licenses raise in excess of £350m pounds in Scotland. Less than £100m of that goes on purely Scottish programming, and only about 10% of that purely Scottish programming goes on BBC Alba. But you begrudge BBC Alba getting a small amount out of the total BBC Scotland budget to make content for Scottish people, partly in their native language. Shame on you! You in Surrey are/were not paying surcharges to subsidise Scotrail. At the time you were writing, Scotrail was run on franchise by Abellio, a *for-profit* commercial enterprise that also runs rail services in England, equally for profit. What you were paying surcharges for was to subsidise the construction of the Elizabeth Line (formerly called Crossrail) in London, so don't give us your nonsense about that. Also, you chose to live in Surrey. Nobody forced you to. If you want to have a say in how Scotland is run, move back there.
