Re: Lazybird Sunday 2nd, Mahood, George Worrall, Spook of the 13th Lock and Cian Nuge

The official blurb:

LAZYBIRD
Sunday, 7:30pm 'til closing
Anseo (upstairs), 18 Lower Camden St, Dublin 2
________________________________________

This Sunday marks the last Lazybird of the year, and it'll be a night of experimental finger-picking, with four guitar/banjo/string-based acts: the duo of Mahood & Tuula and soloists George Worrell, Cian Nugent and The Spook of the 13th Lock. Folk, country, blues, jazz, rock, trad, noise...it'll probably all be there in some form or another. To find out who'll be responsible for what, here's more info:

MAHOOD & TUULA
Two occasional members of the Deserted Village/United Bible Studies sprawl, Paul Condon and Tuula Voutilainen collaborate on the evening, he on psychedelic noise guitar'n'effects, she on vocals. Primal and visceral.

GEORGE WORRALL
Making his Lazybird debut, Dubliner George took up guitar blues at age 13 and hasn't stopped since, although he's incorporated a bit of country and jazz into his sound in the intervening years. He's recently put out his debut album, Action, Not "Progress", on Fight in the Dog Records; check out the links below for some samples.

CIAN NUGENT
Also making his first appearance with us is 18-year-old Cian Nugent. Cian is a steel-string guitarist whose playing is steeped in the sound of American roots music: pre-WWII blues, Appalachian folk and the Takoma label. He's just put out a self-titled limited-edition EP, a CD-R with handmade covers. Here's a review (taken from http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/guitar9.html):

"Despite being so young, it is the Fahey tradition (especially well done on `I will take the top of a tall cedar and break a tender sprout'), of taking real fundaments to expansion, which delivered Cian Nugent the right ideas to do so for his own explorations and experiences, during writing and composing. Only `The Wagoners Lad' is a traditional (taken from Buell Kazee). But it is `Baka Dance' which more clearly refers to older blues and ragtime, changing speed and transforming its activity in the theme a few times, a track which then ends quite unexpectedly. On the last and 6th track is added a second layer of string stretching sounds, with a rather violin-, and musical saw-like effect, while the Faheyesque blues keeps dominating and seemingly restricting the strangeness added to it.

"A promising guitarist, who I assume will grow steadily and further in the near future."

Cian will also have a track on the upcoming Tompkins Square compilation Imaginational Anthem.

THE SPOOK OF THE 13TH LOCK
The Spook is sometimes a band, and sometimes one person, but regardless of the configuration, at the centre of it all is Allen Blythe. We've used this blurb pretty much every time he's played, but we think it sums him up pretty well, so here it is again: "Named after a poem about a haunted canal lock, the Spook plucks banjos and twangs guitars. He yelps, drones and hums songs about dead revolutionaries, partisans and haunted cobblestone streets."

Because we've got four acts on the night, we'll be trying to get doors open a bit earlier than usual, around 7:30 (emphasis on "trying"), with the music starting around 8. But regardless of when it kicks off, it's only a fiver in.

We're a bit short-handed this week, so we won't be doing our usual webcast, Radio-Inactivity. But on most other Sundays, you can hear it from 6pm to 7:30pm at http://www.powerfm.org. Tune in, turn up, drone on.

only saw mahood and cian nugent as i've a miserable cold and had to shoot off to my bed, but it was lovely.
mahood didn't do an awful lot for me, but tuula's (?) voice was absolutely incredible. not my thing, but remarkable stuff.
i really really enjoyed cian's set. it's both sickening and lovely to have peers that can wail so well on the geetar.
