Celtic Connections: The Chair with Daimh

Combining a benignly hedonistic version of Viking berserker spirit with
formidable breadth of musicianship, Orkney eight-piece The Chair are one
of Scotland’s supreme live acts. With their turbocharged yet über-tight
mash-up of folk, blues, rock, reggae, klezmer and more, they return to
Celtic Connections for another jubilant bout of musical mayhem.
“Joyously uproarious” (Scotsman)

Released exactly 20 years after
their debut gig, the seventh album from West Highland champions Dàimh,
2018’s The Rough Bounds, delivered their richest mix yet of
finely-wrought instrumental firepower and delectable Gaelic singing,
imbued with their full wealth of history. “Gaelic music has never been
more enjoyable” (Fatea)
