Lineup and details for Skip 'Little Axe' Macdonald on Saturday 31st March 2012
SATURDAY 31st MARCH:
A real coup for Darlington and a legend in the Jazz and Blues world. His recent albums Bought for a Dollar Sold for a Dime (2010) and If you want Loyalty Buy a Dog (Nov 2011) have received rave reviews across the globe.
"a set that sounds both effortless and adventurous, with McDonalds gutsy vocals and bluesy guitar work matched against drums, harmonica, keyboards, bass and impressively subtle, edgy dub effects that transform even well- known material." The Guardian
"a collection of song-jams on a par with 1994s startling debut channelling the Mississippi blues of Howlin Wolf and Son House via the cavernous dub of Keith Hudson and King Tubby, this set further ekes out the raw, heartfelt and otherworldly elements common to both genres." Q
"The mood flickers between foreboding and playful; blues for modern times" Uncut
"a set that sounds both effortless and adventurous, with McDonalds gutsy vocals and bluesy guitar work matched against drums, harmonica, keyboards, bass and impressively subtle, edgy dub effects that transform even well known material." The Guardian
"dub-blues grooves that manage to be soothing yet unsettling" The Independent
"the sound is lighter and fresher, but still blessed with characteristic swathes of the bluesy darkness" Froots
