Colin McEwan & Roddy Johnston with The North Craigs Party Band |
 |
A pair of recent blow-ins to North Fife, Colin and Roddy ran into one another in a session in The Bear one Tuesday evening last year. Each with a clutch of idiosyncratic songs, they decided to team up. What started as a duet then blossomed into a full blown band at a party one night. Featuring guitars, fiddles, flute, sax, and bass, this really will be a night of fun and dancing at The Steeple. |

2+2=5...
the collective talents of two of Scotland's most innovative and captivating duos... |
The Halton Quartet are the perfect group for the intimate Steeple atmosphere. Their mischievous air, obvious love of their craft & mastery of their instruments at such an age leaves one slightly stunned. Dave Ford |

Their clear respect for Scottish folk tradition combines so beautifully with the classical, contemporary and jazz genres. You detect a Piazzolla influence here, a Breton folk touch there… two of Scotland 's most exciting young musical innovators.” – The Living Tradition |

'Superb intimate jazzy song stylings with an unmistakeable wit & wisdom' 'The ultimate laid back headline jazz act' 'Chilled rootsy blues with a Sly Jazz undercurrent': From rough edged hard blues to poignant jazz ballads, Floozie Soo invite you to enter their embrace where the music offers an intimacy and warmth that lie between rootsy and classy. Elegant jazz refrains merge effortlessly with smokey vocal expressions and delicate clarinet solos mix it up with bluesy chord progressions. Original songs that explore the rich and subtle relationships between jazz and blues. |
|
The Floozies will be supported by some talented young local, soloists & groups. Dave Ford teaches youngsters & forms bands with them. He's as keen to show off this talent as his band, so at least 1/3 of the evening will be from local youngsters. Don't be mislead. These may be the highlight of your night… not that the Floozies are an easy act to trump… The Floozies are no slouches, but fully expect to be upstaged by the kids! |

Steeple All Stars |
|
|
|
In December 2011, 26 local performers entertained the audience in possibly the most successful concert of the 2011 season. Featuring 26 local musicians in 12 acts, it was Sold Out, & made over £300 for SteepleArts. Most acts did just 5 minutes. Local youngsters went down particularly well. |
 |
A sensational spontaneous Session followed at the Bear Tavern in a fitting end to the night.
You can contact Dave Ford now, If you wish to be included in 2012 - & that would probably be sensible! Spots could be as short as 5 mins – a single song.
|
|
The concert is timed to finish shortly after 10.00 to allow for networking & sessions so running order will be fairly strict. You are advised to have 1 good song with 1 or 2 more in reserve. It's helpful if you need minimal set up. Mics will be provided but it's kinda cool & fits the intimate Steeple space if you can do without.
No acts have so far registered interest. As soon as they do, they'll get a wee photo on this page & a position in a dynamic running order which will undoubtedly change over the year. Thank you for your interest! |
|
The June 2012 Steeple concert will showcase local youngsters in particular in the ‘Steeple YoungStars'. Get practicing! |
