RANDOM
"It is refreshing to hear such 'electric ceilidh music with guts' gracing the stage of the ceilidh world. We eagerly await more!"
The
six guys who are RANDOM, bring their vast experience of all kinds
of folk and dance music to this well-established band. Their gutsy, melodic,
folk-rock interpretation of tunes with traditional roots, creates
scintillating but subtle ceilidh music that will make you want to
dance.
Saul
Rose who also plays with Waterson:Carthy & Faustus amongst others, joins up with Paul
Nye to bring two very exciting melodeon-playing talents together.
Add the classy bass guitar of Keith Holloway, the guitar rhythms of
Ian Woledge, the matchless bass trombone harmonies of Glynn Burch,
and the rock-solid drumming of Roger Smith, and you’ve got the
unique RANDOM sound.’
RANDOM’s
debut CD ‘deviation’ released on the WildGoose label in July 2002 - WGS308CD, and they also feature, along with 5 other top ceilidh bands,
Whapweasel, Florida, Hekety, All Blacked Up and Jabadaw, on a compilation CD -
'English Ceildh Bands- a celebration of English ceildh music'- released in August 2003 on Coughing Dog Music - COF 010
Their latest CD 'TOADSTONE', released at Sidmouth Folk Week 2005 on WildGoose WGS328CD, has received critical acclaim and RANDOM are now in great demand.
