DONALD BLACK BAND
Ace harmonica player Donald Black is firmly established as the instrument’s foremost exponent in Scottish traditional music, having received his first harmonica from a kindly aunt at the tender age of four and being totally self-taught, with his own unique style and mastery, Donald has almost single-handedly been responsible for the humble mouth organ achieving a new respect and acceptance – forcing professionals and reviewers to sit up and take it seriously as a significant part of the Scottish music scene.
Being a native of Benderloch, Argyll, Scotland, Donald’s roots are firmly steeped in the West of Scotland Highland Bagpipe and Gaelic tradition – but his repertoire extends well beyond this to embrace the idioms of Ireland, the Shetland Isles, Cape Breton / Nova Scotia and mainstream Scotland.
Donald Black’s live performances have delighted audiences from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, UK-wide, through Europe – and from Moscow to Kansas City. His playing of thoroughly challenging jigs, hornpipes, marches, strathspeys and reels, and emotionally charged slow airs and laments can only be described as spellbinding.
Start time 8:00pm, tickets £10 (OAPS £8, under 18s £5) available soon.
