'Musical chemistry that sets the stage ablaze'
Brooks Williams, “Top 100” acoustic guitarist and singer songwriter, with violinist Aaron Catlow, founder of Sheelanagig, creates a fiery, fearless sound of Americana, folk and country blues.
There’s the bluegrass-swing of Gillian Welch’s “Red Clay Halo,” complete with aw-shucks whistling; the Celtic-blues of their self-penned “Anniesland”, a song for the late-great Rab Noakes; and their metal-like riff-driven arrangement of Molly Tuttle’s “Dooley’s Farm.”
No one performing today creates this kind of acoustic music, this show is guaranteed to get you out of your seat.
With three highly praised albums to date, the Williams-Catlow high-energy collaboration will release and tour their fourth album this year, provisionally called Working in Wood.
“How such a complete and sensational sound can come from just two voices and two instruments is awe-inspiring.” AmericanaUK
Tickets: standard £18.50 and £12.50 under-26
Seating will be cabaret style in the main auditorium and on church pews in the balcony. Doors and bar open 45 minutes before the show begins.
