*Bruce Molsky at Edinburgh Folk Club, Wednesday 15th October 2008*
OK, we have a "class act" for you next Wednesday.
"Alone or with fellow musicians; guitar, fiddle, or banjo in hand, Bruce Molsky has been exploring traditional music from an astonishingly broad range of cultures over the past two decades – synthesizing them and refracting them through his own evolving sensibilities to the point where the sources of his inspiration transform themselves into a sound that is uniquely his. While most identified with traditional American old-time music, Molsky's influences range from the Appalachian soul of Tommy Jarrell to Delta blues; from the haunting modal strains of Irish music to the rhythmically nimble music of Eastern Europe.

As you can see, Bruce has his "fingers in a lot of pies" these days but it's great to have him back at Edinburgh Folk Club once again for a long overdue solo gig. Expect an extremely varied evening's entertainment during which Bruce's virtuoso expertise on guitar, fiddle, banjo, and vocals will be displayed to the full.
Venue: Pleasance Cabaret Bar - 8:00pm Admission: £7.00 (£6.00 concession), Members £5
