DLDown is...
...a part-time acoustic/rock/jazz collective centered around material penned by multi-instrumentalist Jo Wilson. First performing in Aberdeen in early 2005 after Jo started jamming with Tim Buick (saxophone), DLDown deliver an original mixture of complex song structures, interesting harmonies and heartfelt lyrics. Tim's solos bounced between beauty and boisterousness over audience-captivating rhyhmic delay loops laid down by Jo. The D and the L stand for "Don't" and "Look" respectively.

Believing that the songs were too good to waste, Tim and Jo recorded their debut album Puzzle at Flat 3 in Aberdeen in autumn 2006, bringing in violinist Aggy Ng to perform on tracks Lazarus and Farther Up and Farther In.

getpuzzle Puzzle CDs are now available for a donation of your choice.

More recently, following an amicable geographical divergence from his co-founder, Jo continues to write and perform in a sporadic fashion, roping in additional musicians when he can.

Hey,

How was the gig? I was on holiday, but I will have to come to one soon! We are playing in Glasgow tomorrow- our first gig in about 2 and a half months- so let's hope we're not rubbish. How are things?

Hey Jo,

Cheers for coming along to the Jazz Bar. Was it alright? It was a very strange round. i think they were petrified, in the classical sense of the word.

Any gigs coming up?

Hey, thanks very much Jo. It was really good of you to come down; glad you enjoyed it. Ta for the kind words too - a fine line between being 'happy and relaxed' and just 'drunk', of course, but I like to think we're brave enough to straddle that line. ;)

Afraid we've got a prior appointment on wednesday, but hopefully we'll get to see you again before long. Any other gigs coming up?

Cheers,
Kieran

Hi Jo, thanks for the comment. Kieran will be pleased to hear you like his new geetar! Sorry my banter was non-existent, I was in a bit of an angry daze after the gig because of messing up that middle song! Pleased you enjoyed it though! Also, there should be some new songs up soon on the Myspace.

Hi Jo,

Thanks for the add etc...

We had a splendid night tonight. It was nice meeting, and indeed playing with you.

It's a shame there were so few people there. Also, listening to the songs on here and the tunes from your gig at the Merlin, it's a shame there was no sax at the Ark.

Having said that, you were excellent on your own.

Hope to hear the full Dl Down experience at some point soon though.
