The Appaloosas come to play

 Listen again to an abridged version of the show featuring live music by The Appaloosas here. 

Hi all.
On Monday 18th March on Roots and Shoots a band called The Appaloosas came to the studio to play some live music and talk about their recently recorded eponimous album and this and that.
The band are a trio made up of Eliza (vocals + guitar) and Peter Acty (banjo) together with Stephen Potter (fiddle). The music they play is from the Appalachian tradition in the USA. Eliza's voice was so evocative of the tradition and the guitar, fiddle and banjo kind of transported me to the Appalachian mountains. Wonderful music, beautifully performed.
In the studio as well was Martin Hodge, who very kindly came in to balance the microphones, and Cecil to take photos & video. as well as Eliza's brother who also took photos and videos. Hoping to be able to put some up on this blog some time soon.

The band played the following songs live:
Come All You Virginian Girls
Undone Sorrow (a song originally sung by Ola Belle Reed)
Water Bound ( a song by Dirk Powell)
Gospel Plough ( a traditional song recorded by Bob Dylan and Chas McCoy amongst others)

From their Album;
Little Darling Pal Of Mine
