| About The
Wild Sarachs |
| Based
in Campbeltown, Kintyre, in the West Highlands of Scotland, The
Wild Sarachs have been around now for a couple of years
championing their own particular brand of turbo-dreich music.
Possessing a level of agility and self-assurance more commonly
associated with musicians twice their age, the band pretty much
keep their own council and rarely smile. Resolutely unfashionable,
The Sarachs bring together a fresh mixture of old and new songs
from Kintyre, classic folk-rock, a smattering of Americana and a
few slices of original material which are beginning to creep into
the repetoire. One of their best tricks is to gratuitously
shoe-horn Gaelic waltzes into spaces where they shouldn't really
be without looking too smug about it. Based around the pure voice
of Anne Leith, the band have created a timeless sound that is
rooted in the past yet somehow is bang up to date. The combination
of twin acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle, bouzouki, double bass
and harmony vocals can hardly be described as unique yet there is
a definite sense that the listener can only be listening to The
Wild Sarachs. |
