Bowstring have been together as a band since 2007 and a
background of 150 years of musicianship working as individuals all over the
world, performing at corporate functions, weddings, barn dances, ceilidhs,
concerts and festivals. Driving the dancers on with full and exciting
sound and astonishing array of instruments. This is their debut album. More

Bowstring, ?Vinnie's Return' (Red Admiral Records, Out Now) Depending on your experience of
folk music, the new Bowstring album will either be folk exactly as you expect
it, or folk like you've never heard before. In the last few years Roots music
has undergone both a revival and a makeover, with artists such as Laura
Marling and Noah & The Whale taking the strong traditions in a slightly
more commercial direction which saw them shoot up the charts. Their brilliant use of these
tropes has cast a spotlight on the genre that it hasn't seen in years, and
has allowed more traditional outfits such as Bowstring to shine too. If you
know folk from the roots up, with all its traditional rural foibles and charms
then this album is much more in that vein. If you have become a more recent
fan of the genre due to its latest incarnation you could do a lot worse than
check out this album to hear how it all began. The LP is an excellent example
of old school folk in all its glory. Many of the tracks are instrumentals,
showcasing excellent work on violin (Ramona Eagle) and mandolin (Chris
Sadler/Chris Taylor). It is easy to imagine finding the LP tucked into an old
vinyl collection and blowing the dust off it before putting it in your record
player and enjoying it all again for the first time years. This is perhaps an overly
romantic notion, but it's hard to deny the respect this release shows for
traditions that are decades old. It conjures up images of barn dances, open
fires, and old school musicians playing in country pubs to rapt audiences. If
this sounds like your idea of hell and you'd rather listen to the latest
Black Eyed Peas track than a new song from Mumford & Sons then you need
not apply. But if you enjoy folk in any
incarnation there's a lot to enjoy here. It may be a bit twee for some, those
brought up in the Dylan or Loudon Wainwright era of 70s satirical folk or the
2010's lyrically driven popular re-imagining may balk at the plethora of
instrumental tracks on offer here. But you can't argue with the skill,
musicianship and experience put into this album, and I don't mind telling you
I love it. See
Day of the Hurricane is the second instrumental album created by
Gary since he moved to the USA. Day Of The Hurricane was inspired by Gary experiencing several
hurricanes during 2004 that passed over his home in Longwood near Orlando,
Florida.
Peter has been compared to many of the greats including his
heroes Matt Monro, Mel Torme and Vic Damone with the unparalleled ease at
which he sings, producing perfect melody and phrasing with velvet tones.
Peter has performed regularly with throughout London with his
own band and The Croydon Jazz Orchestra, Chris Smith and his String Of
Pearls, The Len Phillips Big Band, Denis Hynes Small Band and in October in
their 40th year tour The Syd Lawrence Orchestra.
