Come The Bank Holiday, Come The Strats
July 26, 2006 By Leave a Comment
Warriors Of The Night, The Strats hit Kilkenny on Sunday August 6th and are looking for your support on the weekend. Based out of Monaghan, The Strats are and Irish two-piece blues rock band featuring Will Ludford on guitar and Nigel Brannigan on Keyboards.
From Music Mart….
The Strats are an Ireland-based blues duo with a classic no-frills approach. And in that, they go some way to tapping into what the genre is all about. In conversaton, their guitarist Will Ludford, is achingly honest about the problems of touring with a live band, and the financial practicalities of doing so – his answer being to strip it back to the “essentials”; himeslf, his guitar, a keyboard player – Nigel Brannigan, a mic and a drum machine. Well the blues always was about survival, making it through whatever right? Or did I miss a meeting?
So Sunday, August 6th in Cleere’s if you’re around from 9pm then do drop by!
