Little Axe on Celtic Connections '07
Little Axe will be one of the artists to perform at the Real World Records Show that is part of the 2007 Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow, Scotland on 31 January 2007. It promises to be a special gig!
Skip McDonald, aka Little Axe, will be joined by the renowned rhythm section of Doug Wimbish and Keith LeBlanc (Sugarhill Gang, Tackhead) with Bernard Fowler (Tackhead, Rolling Stones) on vocals. They will be joined by production maestro Adrian Sherwood, of On-U Sound Records, who as well as producing their current album, Stone Cold Ohio, will also perform his own live sound-system.
Other special guests include the latest incarnation of pioneering Asian fusioneers Joi and the young Mauritanian singer-songwriter Daby Tour? who has been described as an African Cat Stevens or Nick Drake. Also flying in is the gorgeous, vibrant Sevara Nazarkhan - Uzbekistan's ravishing young star and winner of a BBC radio 3 World Music Award.
We will not be forgetting the much loved, much missed Martyn Bennett and will be paying tribute to his special legacy to Scottish music. The evening will take place in the wonderful venue of the Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow's City Halls at 9pm on Wednesday 31 January 2007.
