Phonic FM presents...

Daughters of Elvin plus Dave and Bully

Due to illness, early music ensemble Daughters of Elvin did not play live but they sent Martin Henning several recordings made with the new line-up. Martin used them for a special feature on the group. Beautiful music. Their new website is being re-constructed but does have two tunes for you to listen to. You can find older recordings on Daughters of Elvin's myspace page.

The recordings played were
Dark & Light, Salterello, Frenetique and Moonpig.

Many thanks to Bully from Mudskippers and Dave Wood who joined us in the studio to play their superb music and talk about their coming gig for Phonic FM.

Dave Wood is highly regarded for his ability to re-interpret traditional songs and tunes as well as classics from The Beatles and Motown era. His own songs are particularly popular and his song May the Kindness has been recorded by the well known folk singer and musician Jackie Oates. His versatile use of open-tuned guitar and subtle bottleneck provide a backdrop for his rich, emotive voice. Whether on solo acoustic or electric guitar, or in combination with percussion and bass on original songs, Dave's highly individual guitar style shines.

Mudskippers are fast gaining a strong reputation for playing beautifully arranged, mainly self-penned and largely acoustic music. Their performance at Exeter Respect Festival was extremely well received.

This promises to be a special evening to entertain and delight music-lovers.
