Carnivale returns to the Bothy Bar at Hootananny this Thursday, 28th March. Martin Bannon will be hosting four solo acts: Meeshelle and Panda Su representing the ladies and Craig Robertson and Dougie Greig putting on a turn for the gents.
Meeshelle is probably better known as the driving voice of local funksters The Leonard Jones Potential, but has recently been putting together some well received solo sets as well as the occasionally teaming up with Abagail Gray (most recently in support of Duke Special at the Ironworks). No doubt on Thursday you will have the opportunity to hear for yourself her big voice in an intimate surrounding. Panda Su, is no stranger to these parts and will be celebrating the release of her new single, “Maps”, as part of a short tour around Scotland.
Both lads on the bill are also taking a lead from Meeshelle and taking time away from the bands that they front and developing their solo interests. Craig Robertson is lead vocalist of local act the Frues and his solo material, for the most part, is different to that of the band he fronted. Dougie Greig is better known as the lead of Roadway and, although extremely busy recently with a side project with Dave ‘Bucket’ Colwell is taking time out to maintain his individual acoustic material which will see him release his long awaited debut solo acoustic album, ‘Black Water Son’ later in the year.
So come along, sit down, relax and most importantly, enjoy!
