OLD BABY MACKEREL
Musician Pub:18th September 2024
They are a four-piece old timey bluegrass band playing high energy, high quality foot stomping bluegrass music... The band play in the real way... acoustically, gathered around a single microphone and step into and out of the front with the precision of a royal ballet to solo either vocally or instrumentally. They have three excellent singers, singing either solo or in superb three part harmonies. Musically the singers play mandolin, banjo, guitar and are supported by a bouncing rhythmIc bass underpinning the whole sound.The set features a mix of excellent, sometimes quirky original songs, such as the one lamenting the difficulty of driving in Bristol, as well as covers of old time blue grass pieces, all delivered with high energy and great humour. A high calibre band who play with zest and great spirit engaging easily with the audience and providing a hugely enjoyable show.The sound, using the single central microphone is beautifully clear and alive, clearly demonstrating the quality of the musicianship and vocals.High enjoyable evening with a great band... highly recommended
