Moon Shed to play The Braid Arts Centre. 31.8.13. Randall Stephen Hall & the Moon Shed will play the Braid on Saturday the 31st of August 2013. 8.00 p.m. Plus some fine folk musicians alongside too. (Cracker stuff).
Stephen describes the eclectic mix of music he writes as “Folk n’ Fusion”. A mixture of Irish Traditional, Rough Ulster Scots, Americana, some North Antrim funk and a wee dab of humour.
(Rough Ulster Scots as in, a rough tweed, the rough rock of the landscape, A field of stubble, the broad and hamely tongue. Wi words as rough as heavy duty sand paper on a wire metal brush. Do you ketch ma drift hey?).
The band are Stephen Hall/Mandolin/Guitar and Kenyan hand drum, Rohan Young/Bodhrán and craic and the bold Michael Sands/Banjo/Guitar, the wit-Meister himself.
All in all their informal approach and serious musicality bring a new flavour to the local folk scene, along with Stephen’s “random” poems. Never predictable. He may have a few new ones in the barrel frae Saturday nicht. Ah now . . .
