Laura Boosinger with josh Goforth
The Royal West of Scotland Amateur Boat Club
Friday 4th April 2008
Anyone can put on a "good" performance these days. Not everyone can put on a show that comes straight from the heart. Carolinian chanteuse Laura Boosinger and her musical partner Josh Goforth came to Greenock and wowed the small yet passionate audience with their cohesive bluegrass pairing.
Proceedings began - perhaps appropriately - with "Banjo Pickin' Girl". Those in attendance weren't slow to clock the terrific bond between Laura and Josh. It was also a fine indicator of what was to come from Josh, a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist who is a regular session player in Nashville.
Laura's music comes straight from Appalachia. Great understanding of the origins and purity of what she sings makes Laura's performance all the more sincere. Of course, it helps too that she's a dab hand at the claw-hammer banjo and guitar, over which her voice flows so gently. You could be fooled into thinking that every song sung was from her own pen. Josh's vocals never reached the same heights, but sat nicely just the same on "Someone I Used to Know".
Laura is routinely invited to play at Merlefest, and if you've witnessed her live, it's easy to see why. All who caught her in such confined quarters should consider themselves extremely lucky. Likewise with Goforth, who is much revered for his prodigious playing throughout America.
Laura and Josh recently cut their first album together - "Most of All" - and judging by this performance, it will be the first of many.

Olav Larsen & The Alabama Rodeo Stars
Greenock Wanderers RFC
Saturday 29th March 2008
Olav Larsen and The Alabama Rodeo Stars are a Country / Americana band from Norway. Are they any good? No, they're brilliant.
We've never had the chance to see any other Norwegian country bands and probably never will but this band are really going places. You would be forgiven for thinking of Tom Petty when Olav is onstage. Think of Petty's 'Southern Accents' album and that would be a close comparison to the type of music and the sound these guys put out. But that's where the comparison ends!
On this small minimalistic Acoustic tour of Scotland the guys thoroughly enjoyed putting their energy into their performance. A good mixture of songs from 'Love's Come to Town' and recently released 'Sad and Happy Love songs' with a nice mixture of their own version of covers.
From first impressions you would actually think Olav and the guys were actually an American band with years and miles of hard touring on the road. Crafting their technique and putting in the hours to come up with songs like The Murder Ballad of Mary, Don't Cry and I'm Gonna Change This World.
The setup was simple,
Olav Larsen - Vocal, Harmonica and Guitar
Erlend Aasland - Banjo and Backing Vocals
Torje Fanebust As - Bass and Backing Vocals
Arne Andersen - Drums and Backing Vocals
Jonny Engelsvoll - Accordian and Backing Vocals
When playing at home or in the studio they also add Electric Guitar, Piano, Wurlitzer, Hammond, Pedal Steel and a few other instruments that really fill out the sound. However, this cut down setup does not make the songs lose any of their appeal or detract from the high energy performance from the top Country / Americana band in Europe.
Olav had requests and had the whole crowd singing along to Angel Band often credited as a traditional song when covered by Bluegrass artists. The song is however a Jefferson Hascall, William B. Bradbury composition based on a hymn they wrote. Olav's cover was loosley based on the Emmylou Harris version. Other covers included the obscure Dylan song 'Licence to Kill' and the Haven Gillespie, Beasley Smith song Lucky Old Sun.
A Memorable performance and also the first band to play at tne new Wanderers
Clubhouse.
Hopefully the band have recovered from the amazing hospitality from Greenock Wanderers and will certainly welcome them back next time round.
Peter Case
7th March 2008 @ Steeple Hall, Kilbarchan
8th March 2008 @ The Royal West of Scotland Amateur Boat Club, Greenock
9th March 2008 @ The Harbour Arts Centre, Irvine
On Tour with Peter Case!
What can be said of Peter Case that hasn't already been said? Probably not a lot but what a weekend we had. Why this guy is not a household name like Springsteen or Dylan is unknown.
He should be!
Tom Morton on Radio Scotland had commented that he couldn't believe that Peter Case was playing in Greenock and on a low key tour of Scotland without him knowing. Turns out Tom had interviewed Peter a few years ago.
Friday 7th March 2008 started the Peter Case weekend off with Peter giving an interview with Sunny Govan Radio. Then onto The Steeple Hall in Kilbarchan. Prior to the gig Peter was very approachable having a chat with anyone who wanted to talk to him, signing autographs and posing for pictures. This being the first time I'd heard Peter live we were not expecting anything too much as we've seen the best of them over the years, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costelo, Steve Earle etc.
As soon as Peter plugged in and said hello we were immediatley blown away with the hard driving, in your face, no nonsense lyrics and sometimes quite incredible guitar playing! 5 members of the audience were obviously big fans who had a right good time requesting songs and singing along.
Over the whole weekend the Songs from Grammy Award Nominated, 'Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John' came across as oldtime classics that could have been written anytime in the past 60 or so years. A few covers and stories from Peter's past, people he's met and things he does.
An incredible songwriter with a talent to get under your skin with lyrics that make you think, laugh and very nearly cry.
Saturday brought Peter to Greenock for the gig at The Royal West of Scotland Amateur Boat Club. Picked Peter up in the afternoon with a detour via this internet connection so that he could check his travel arrangements in mainland Europe.
On arriving at The Boat Club it was obvious that he knew the sound he wanted and exactly how any PA should be set up. Various tweaks and changes and within 10 minutes the soundcheck was complete. Unfortunatley the old piano at The Boat Club could be doing with a tune up or it would have been used. The Lazarenkos stepped in at the last minute yet again to provide some support although having heard Peter the night before it was obvious no support was required! The Lazarenkos usual brand of Country Rock went down a storm with the audience and we think they've got a few new fans locally.
Peter went right through the whole range of songs with numerous changes to the previous night setlist. Notable addition was the inclusion of the Bob Dylan classic, To Ramona and a few requests.. Many of the Harborlite Music regulars were stunned afte the first couple of songs due to IN YOUR FACE performance from Peter. Marks out of 10? It would need to be 11.
Sunday took Peter to Irvine to the amazing Harbour Arts Centre. A great crowd turned out on a windy Sunday night to hear one of the best on-stage stories we've ever heard in over 20 years of concerts.
Seemingly, Peter had done an online interview for a Spanish paper commenting on the US Government and a few other things while playing in Spain. After going back to the USA he found that the secret service wanted to speak to him. This lead on to an amazing tale of undercover agents, Police Cars, visit to The Whitehouse and an Art Gallery. Finally the story ended with the original Agent turning up at a gig a few years later. If you ever get the chance to see Peter Case ask for the Whitehouse story and prepare to have a rollercoaster of a ride!
Another good mixture of songs and chat and we left Peter signing Autographs, CD's and Posters.
After 3 nights in a row seeing Peter it was great to see how different audiences and venues deal with this vastly underrated songwriter and performer. 110% every night and a really nice bloke too!
If you get the chance to see Peter Case anytime in the future, don't even think about it. It'll be money well spent and we can tell you that you won't regret it.
Fiona Mackenzie and Friends
The Loreto Club
16th February 2008
Fiona and her band arrived in the afternoon and it was quite obvious from the soundcheck that we were in for something special later on. It's not often that a soundcheck brings any venue to a standstill but this is exactly what happened!
Inverclyde Folk Club provided some excellent support with a variety of tunes and song before Fiona took the stage.
Fiona's brand of minimalist Contemporary Scottish Folk Music reminded us of the comments made about Jazz that it's the notes you don't hear that are the important ones. If that is correct then Fiona and Friends will go a long way. Ethereal is perhaps the word to describe the music and this combined with the magnificent voice of Fiona backed by Rick Taylor - piano, Derek Urquhart - guitar and Mairi Campbell - viola / violin.
Listening to Fiona and the songs from recently released 'Elevate' really made you feel that, if it was possible, you could reach out and touch the songs. No matter the song or the subject matter Fiona comes across as an artist who is not only professional but one who really enjoys what they do.
The very talented band members are more than capable of holding court with their own performances if it was required. Derek being a absolutley superb guitarist, Rick and incredible Piano player and Mairi already booked by Harborlite Music to come back with her own band!
We had a few Gaelic songs which can sometimes be very tiresome if not done properly. No fear of that tonight. Fiona is the best we've ever heard. The songs from Elevate come across as very thoughtful in an Arty sort of way with their roots firmly in Traditional Scottish Folk with a twist of independent rebellion thrown in for good measure.
Without a doubt Fiona and the band are more than capable of becoming more mainstream but whether Fiona would want this is debatable. Stunning songs, amazing performance and brilliant musicians backing this Scottish gem with the voice of an angel!
We know Fiona and the band enjoyed themselves tonight as Rick stayed until the very end. After Fiona had left Rick joined Inverclyde Folk Club for an impromtu session come lesson with Rick teaching songs as he was playing them.
A voice and performance that really puts a smile on your face we're sure Fiona and Friends will get
the Airplay and bookings they rightly deserve.
The Packway Handle Band
The Wallace Bennett Theatre @ The Arts Guild Theatre
Wednesday 30th January 2008
Wednesday nights weren't made for football, I guess. I'd be more inclined to believe they were made to allow for people to attend goofball bluegrass shows. One such show I did witness was that of the Packway Handle Band, in the Arts Guild Theatre, Greenock.
Upon their arrival on stage, the immediate talking point - at least in my mind - was the standard bass. A bluegrass band with no double-bass, you say?! That's not right! Facetious remarks aside, the band romped through "All the Time in the World". The band's first impression hinted at a very traditional bluegrass show, with gusto. However, this wasn't to be the case all night. Bassist Zach McCoy cut a lonely figure by the wall, not contributing any vocals but playing away like a sulking schoolgirl. Meanwhile, the remaining four were huddled around the microphone, baffling this reviewer with splendid harmonies that owe as much to the Beach Boys as to Appalachian mountain singers. Each band member excelled on their own instrument, and their first set closed in fitting bluegrass style; a tribute to Bill Monroe.
A second set would shortly follow, allowing the band to deliver another term of slapstick bluegrass, so masterfully delivered, each and every face in the room had the visage of a botched Botox victim. This was only exacerbated by "Earl the Duck", a loving tale of gender confused duck. Fiddler Andrew Heaton's vocals really milked this song. From here it only got more and more absurd. "Satan's in Space" couldn't be further from traditional bluegrass song matter, but this is where part of the Packway Handle band's appeal lies. While adopting a serious attitude to their playing, the band are almost self-deprecating in both their lyrics and their delivery. Just as I thought the night had reached its peak, McCoy departs the room, and returns with the crowning touch. A big ol' double-bass! The band signed off with "Sinner, You Better Get Ready", to a thorough and deserved ovation.
The Packway Handle Band are not your typical bluegrass band. Drawing on influences as far astray as Romania and Mexico, they have certainly come a long way from their roots in Athens, Georgia, and they are all the better for it.

Alison McNeill
Hafton Castle, Dunoon
Sunday Decmeber 2nd 2007
GOUROCK musician Alison McNeill performed to a sell-out audience at Hafton Castle, Dunoon. The concert last weekend was so popular that eventually the doors had to be closed.
Soprano and fiddler Alison opened the all-Celtic programme of Scottish, Irish and Manx music in the beautiful, candlelit setting, with a piano and fiddle slow air followed by Burns songs for voice and harp.
A must for any traditional concert was a selection of tunes by two of Scotland's best fiddle composers, Scott Skinner and Neil Gow.
Alison then went on to sing two traditional Manx songs accompanied by Eleanor Holley on clarsach.
After a set of traditional songs and more fiddle tunes accompanied by Carlyn Fowler on piano, Matt Quinn on guitar and Eleanor on clarsach, Alison brought the first half of the concert to a close with a beautiful fiddle tune, written by herself, called "Sparkling Silver".
The atmosphere was electric in the second half as Alison and her band played a mix of Scottish and Irish reels and jigs to a delighted, toe-tapping, hand-clapping audience who would have loved to have got up and danced if there had been room to do so.
As the evening drew to a close, Alison played another of her own compositions which was written earlier this year, entitled "Hafton Castle" which she presented to the owners.
Alison, on fiddle, played out with the "Drunken Piper, Captain Campbell and the Tongadale Reel” accompanied by Scott McLean on the Djembe African drum, ending the concert to rapturous applause.
Ian Davison and Cruachan
The Royal West of Scotland Amateur Boat Club
Friday 30th November 2007
It's a historical fact that St. Andrew's Day is second only to St. Patrick's Day in terms of saints' days renowned for alcohol consumption and good music. I don't know why St. David doesn't get a similar remembrance, but right now that's not an issue. St. Andrew's day 2007 saw Ian Davison and Cruachan come to Greenock and ordered us to embrace our cultural heritage, through some damn fine music.
Cruachan got the liquor flowing with a good humoured set of traditional Scottish songs. Proving that the Scots are among the most influential people in the world, a growling version of Matt McGinn's "Get Up, Get Out" was to be followed by the Burns song, "Dainty Davie". Although reluctant to perform anything but traditional Scottish folk songs, Cruachan brought plenty of colour to the songs, with mandolin, mandola, harmonica and bohdran all featuring during the set. "Fisher's Hornpipe" was sounded as much like the Dubliners as is clinically possible for a Scottish band to do. The audience reaction was indication enough that this band put on a fine show. Sure, they don't play their own material, but when you can make the songs of others sound as good as they do, who's to moan?
Received by as many people as likely he has years to his name, Ian Davison approached the stage. Twenty seconds into "Muttonheid Wearies" and the entire crowd are damn near drowning out Davison with their laughing. To be fair, it was his fault. Ian Davison has a knack for writing songs that, at times, are too clever for their own good. "Hogmanay Party" followed, and again, more through simplicity than anything else, Davison had the crowd in stitches in the form of a scarcely-chorded folk gem. "The Dentist" was a tongue-in-cheek song that everybody could relate to. Even those who never knew his name before "Swally for the Bears" (thankfully, not an ode to Glasgow Rangers) were singing along like age-old groupies, such was the appeal of Davison's musical and lyrical dexterity.
Matters only got worse when Davison spoke of a "London Orgy", but the lyrics were of such subtlety that you could be singing the song to your own grandchild without them being any the wiser. In the most simple of ways, Davison's music struck a bond with his audience. A key factor in this rapport was the importance of the Scots brogue that Davison has given added life to. "Room for us all in the Dance" wound up an expertly-executed set that had the crowd clutching for their inhalers.
Davison's apology for "imposing two songs on us" was largely laughed at. Returning with "My Joy of You", we were almost fooled into thinking Davison had written a fully serious song. In all its minimalist allure, it was nonetheless delivered in a humourous and eloquent manner. Davison bade farewell with "Politeness", a track that owed as much to Rio as to Glasgow. The terrific applause was no less than what was deserved. Davison is a seasoned performer and low-key Scottish folk bard.
The evening was brought to a close with a fiercely patriotic set from Cruachan. Roping in songs of the Jacobites, Burns, Runrig, and a host of others, Cruachan made sure that everybody left with their sense of national identity intact.

Alastair Moock
The Royal West of Scotland Amateur Boat Club
Sunday 21st October 2007
There's always a spring in the step of this writer when the opportunity to catch a live show in an intimate location comes around. Even the fact that the sole came off my right shoe en route wasn't enough to keep me back from seeing Alastair Moock at Greenock's West of Scotland Amateur Boat Club.
Local boys The Lazarenkos - or two of them at least - graced the club with a last minute support slot. The depleted line-up made little difference to the colourful strumming and pretty vocal harmonies that The Lazarenkos are so revered for. From the harmonica-kissed Springsteen-frightening "Gone for Good" to the ruminations of "The Lasting Kind", The Lazarenkos - without busting as much as a smile - once again justified their popularity in the local community.
Alastair Moock, having acquainted himself with his surroundings, introduced himself and started into "God Saw Fit to Make Tears", a song so well spiced by Moock's weathered voice. Sounding not unlike the lovechild of Captain Beefheart and Dusty Springfield, it was compelling listening. Taking influence from such authentic American voices as Dave van Ronk, Merle Haggard, and most notably Woody Guthrie - the basis for "Woody's Lament" - Alastair's own compositions boil over with layers of purity and wisdom that belie his tender age. Regaling his already swooning crowd with a clever prelude to the delightfully-worded "Yin Yang Blues", it was apparent that Alastair had the audience firmly under his spell.
One set not being adequate, Alastair was welcomed back for a second helping. "Fortune Street" saw Alastair's observational lyrics peak at almost Dylan-esque heights of brilliance. One of the best songs of the night was to come in the form of "Cloudsplitter", a song of 19th century slave trade abolitionist John Brown. In a very similar vein to Katy Moffatt's "Sojourner Truth", "Cloudsplitter" is Alastair's impassioned ode to an American rebel. Proving he is also capable of catering for kids parties, Alastair sang us the ridiculously enjoyable "Cows Says Moo".
Sounding very much unlike the New York-born Boston boy that he is, Alastair is a young lad with a gripping voice and knack for writing songs that cannot be ignored, and is surely destined for the big time. His ability not only to perform to a crowd, but to include his fans in his music, is set to take him far. I'd bet my good shoe on it.

The Greatest Bluegrass Show On Earth
The Earl Brothers with the Hunger The Mountain Boys and The Lazarenkos
The Arts Guild Theatre, Greenock
Monday 8th October 2007
Sometimes it is good to escape the hustle and bustle of the Glasgow crowds. Monday night's adventure took Big Peter McGee to Greenock.
Local boys The Lazarenkos opened the proceedings with an acoustic set. For those not in the know, The Lazarenkos are much revered in Greenock, and with good cause. "Gone for Good" was a colourful opener, setting the scene perfectly for "Walking on My Own Two Feet", a folk-pop gem that Tom Petty could have written. "Weary Road" allowed for main man David Nicol to throw some harmonica into the mix, to good effect. Switching then to mandolin, David and the band continued to impress with their vocal harmonies melding nicely with the accompanying guitars and mandolin. Such a fine performance has prompted this BluesBunny to try and catch the full electric band. Clearly capable of combining clever lyrics and flowing melodies, this band could easily go as far as they desire.
A short intermission led us to the Hunger Mountain Boys, who cracked right into a blistering bluegrass reel. Had the show allowed for standing and readily available alcohol, there's no doubting that most of the crowd would've kicked into a line dancing frenzy. While staying true to the bluegrass ascetic, The Hunger Mountain Boys, in all their fiddle reliant, fedora sporting glory, also did well to accommodate other styles of music in their songs, from celtic to ragtime. More joyous reels were to follow - just a shame no one could dance - before stand-in main vocalist Teddy Weber restarted his chanting on "The Blues Is Back Again". The quirky, though terrific "Rat's Been On My Cheese" - stand-in fiddler Adam Tanner's composition - certainly served as one of the best laughs of the night. The band would round off a near flawless set with a rendition of Tampa Red's "Don't You Lie to Me" and traditional favourite "Leavin' Home", and depart to deserved applause. The band's virtuosi ability matched by that lovable hillbilly nature meant that the Earl Brothers had a tough act to follow.
Within seconds of the curtain rising, "hillbilly goth" pioneers the Earl Brothers took us on a lost weekend of bourbon-soaked alt-bluegrass, stopping only to introduce a "good killin' number", which proved to be every bit the hunk of twisted bluegrass that was promised. "Troubles to Blame" continued the drunken steam train sound, with the band maintaining their uncompromising bluegrass onslaught. "Brokenhearted Fool" was the first of many odes to love lost. It should be noted that aged mandolinist Larry Hughes held an almost imperious presence onstage. Likewise the rest of the band, but there was something about Hughes's presence in particular that really accentuated the onstage talent. The sight of four men huddled around one microphone was one to remember: the music really meant something in a primitive sort of way. To round the show off, the band welcomed Adam Tanner back to the stage. "Hard Times Down the Road", Cluck Old Hen", and "Girl with Long Black Hair" brought us to the end of a fantastic show. The show was well-attended and will hopefully encourage both US acts to return to Scotland someday.

Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir
The Tall Ship 'Glenlee', Glasgow Harbour
Sunday 23rd September 2007
This was the first of hopefully many live music nights onboard the Tall Ship, ‘Glenlee’.
As their press release says, rare is the band that can captivate both punk rock kids and folk music fans. Rare still is a band that can do this by playing a ferocious combination of traditional blues, Appalachian folk, and ragged gospel. But The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir does just that.
What can we say about these guys from Canada that hasn’t already been said? They may be Agnostic, they don’t live on a Mountain, they know some Gospel but they ain’t no Choir!
Are they the Roots of Roots Music? Americana at it’s best? Have they went down to the Crossroads and made the deal?
Who knows, all we can say is the were absolutely amazing.
With songs from the likes of Skip James, Rev. Gary Davies and traditional old time Gospel with a whole bunch of their own songs thrown in they play with a passion and determination that can only come from the heart.
Acoustic Guitar, Double Bass, Drums and Banjo with some Slide Banjo thrown in too. There was also an excellent Blues Harp accompaniment to This Train Is Bound For Glory before the final song.
With the majority of the crowd on their feet dancing this was surely one of the best nights the ‘Glenlee’ has seen in many years.
We all came away having been converted to fully paid up members of The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir.
Hopefully we’ll bring them to Inverclyde when they come back again.

Ian Davison
Half a Century Of Song
St. Andrew’s In The Square
Tuesday September 11th 2007
I doubt that anyone who was there will ever forget what a brilliant event occurred last night. The Half a Century of Song concert at SAInTS in Glasgow that celebrated the fifty years that Ian has been writing songs was astonishing.
All the performers who gathered to pay tribute to Ian and his work gave some insights into their own perceptions, admiration and relationships (some fairly new and others almost life long) with this most prolific of song writers.
There were a few surprises for Ian too, not least of which was a personal message from Peggy Seeger. And apart from the wonderful songs (many delivered with novel and original arrangements) there were some entertaining anecdotes that added to our understanding of the man behind the songs.
The night was appropriately rounded off by Ian himself, bowing to popular demand and taking the stage for just one number - sending us home, still singing the chorus of 'Mandela Danced In The Square'.
Although some people thought it odd, initially, to put on such a show while the subject was still alive, such doubts were completely dispelled within the first ten minutes and it became obvious this was a fantastic idea.

Kreg Viesselman
The Old Library,
Kilbarchan
Thursday August 30th 2007
The Old Library at Kilbarchan is exactly that. An Old Library turned into a few rooms with Internet access and various local community events going on all the time. However, upstairs there’s something special. A room that holds around 40 or 50 with a great sound system and discrete inputs for musicians.
Having been the On-Air guest of Ian Anderson the previous night we knew we were in for something special when Kreg took the stage.
Probably the quietest guy ever to grace a stage anywhere in the world. We had been warned there would be no chat, no banter between artist and audience between songs and to give Kreg time to settle his nerves
However, anyone offended by this type of approach forgot all about it when Kreg started picking, strumming and especially singing. WHAT A VOICE!
If you can imagine Tom Waits meets Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) and can play guitar like a young John Martyn then you get the idea.
Lyrically Kreg is up there with some of the other (in)famous songwriters from Minnesota with words straight from the heart and very subtle comedic lines to bring a laugh in otherwise heartbreaking, soulsearchingsongs.
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable night and Kreg was only too happy to chat and sign CD’s after the show.
