  3. Diane Cluck, over from new york touring aboot.

    Something really special about her pure and true visceral playing and dynamic vocals/lyrics. no idea how you catergorise her (i dont think we should) but i'll have a go:-

    heavily associated with the new folk idiom and first coming to light through the golden apples of the sun comp by devandra banhart for arthur magazine and the underground smash (?) that was "wild deer at dawn". She has since always been evolving but seems to still keep that spellbinding delivery of these earlier tunes...........

    playing with drummer/percussionst and all round talent anders griffin

    in support is will smith from the hand who has played peacocks before. Kora, ukulele, vox and an abundance of instruments all plucked to support his story telling, which can range from fanciful, mischievous to heartbreaking. i never saw him last time in aberdeen but feedback was his kora playing was beautiful.

    and how could you have a group of artists like this and not have alan aka kitchen cynics there too!? delighted to have such an impressive line up. hope to see you there.

    starts at 8. 5 at the door

    the sunsets are alive and kicking again. several gigs "bringing music to the doors of folk in aberdeenshire" being arranged at the moment. Any style, age, sound, loudness or brand(?) of bands/artists considered for shows. Only thing we ask is the headliner can get the audience up jumping around or slapping their thigh's. All artists will be given consideration and responded to. villagesunsets@btinternet.com
