The Ship Inn – Sewerby

Posted on May 13, 2011May 13, 2011 by Quentin Budworth

We played a couple of tunes at the Ship Inn in Sewerby last night – great response and a lovely evening with lots of fantastic music played in a room with a beautiful acoustic – a really big thumbs up to Shona (the violinist from the amazing Caravaneserai) and Mike her partner from Leeds who played some amazing bluegrass fiddle and banjo and the amazing ‘Whiskey Dogs’ who host the music night every second thursday – Old time Americana with double bass, guitar and mandolin absolutely fantastic.

"After a full day of music and a fair bit of drinking, the crowd was starting to get itchy feet. The first signs were a bit of shuffling and swaying, which became more animated whenever an act performed an upbeat number, and ended up with people jigging and reeling at the front of the stage. By the time the final act was ready to play they really needed something more, though; something that would allow them to absolutely lose themselves in sound and rhythm. Thankfully, that final act were Celtarabia; right from the off the crowd became a seething mass of whirling dervishes, immersed in 45 minutes of hypnotic world and roots fusion. There really was no finer way to end the day!"
