Influences
GOD, where do you start, we play such a wide variety - from traditional folk, celtic tunes, Irish/Scottish, country, blues, rock.........we all have different influences from all genres. However I think it would be right to say that perhaps its been playing with other fellow musicians throughout the years that has probably given us more inspiration.
The band has been in existance since the late ninties, its members at one time or another, have also palyed with the Runt O The Litter - that well season'd and well travelled folk band from SW Scotland!! However, the Runt sadly is no longer playing as a unit, but hey ho!
Anyway - the Life still goes on, plyaing most Sat nights at the Crown Hotel in Portpatrick, and this is a great place to play music, Portpatrick has a wonderful annual folk festival usually the first weekend in September. Although the band mainly consists of 'the four', we often have friends come and Join in, Steve Dowling, Harry Harbottle, Breagle, to name but a few, and of course our sound man - Marc Sheehan. check out our videos and join in the fun!
The Life plays here there and everywhere, basically if someone wants us to go........
Hi folks Another great festival at the Port and thats mainly thanks to you guys. Really enjoyed playing along wi you even though I can only manage the slow tunes!!!!!!!!!!
Hey I love the tunes. Why thank you, its from the Orkneys, its a Belgrath and getting on a bit. I love its deep bass sound but these days I have to play another one, cos its gone a bit slack! One day I will have to take it to Orkney and get it tightened and made tune-able.
