Dylan Fowler, Ian Melrose, Soig Siberil 22/3/2017

A really timely gig this one after a recent trip to Brittany and the madness that is Brexit. An acoustic guitar gig featuring three Celtic guitarists one from Wales, one from Scotland and one from Brittany. Each was worthy of seeing in their own right but together it was pretty mesmeric at times with fingers whizzing over fretboards and notes picked with perfect timing. Instinctively I liked the Breton's style and music best as each tune was led by one or the other with the others typically proving harmony and support. I particularly liked the appropriately titled 'Le Mascaret' (The Tidal Bore) which featured a lot of hammering on with the right hand. At the end they did a cover of 'Albatross' which reasonably I see is called 'Albatross/Seagull' on their CD. Beautifully executed this was decades of practice and experience condensed into an hour and a half of delightful guitar.
