A vocalist was taken ill, so we had two goes at a magician, Adam Murby, then later juggler, two shows of Aussie-kinked Celtic music and another show. AM was entertaining and interesting. I managed to identify just how one trick was achieved, but others left me dumbfounded, but then its all different to me. I guess it's not given to reveal my solution here! Then more Celtic music, from Celtic Gra meaning Celtic love. This was a trio with the Resident band in support. Irish singer with bare feet and lifted dress and Irish movements with husband pianist and offsider 22-yo fiddle player. Lively and inviting as is Celtic music and an interesting twist of the central married team being Irish and Sydney-sourced Australian. Some decent stories there. As ever, the resident band without its pianist filled out the musical side and the infectious rhythms of Ireland and Scotland pleased immensely. They were to reappear with a more modern repertoire but we were otherwise engaged. More on that later. And the second of the shows. As always, a blast. This was Spotlight Bar, a day in the life of various people and relationships in a out-West US (?) bar. Delirious, exciting, involving and fabulous performances all round.
Celtic Gra compised Rebecca Russell (vocals), Kurt Russell (piano) and Caleb Anderson (fiddle) with support from the Resident band. Spotlight Bar told the story of a day in the life in a US bar as a musical show comprising dancers (6 female, 5 male), singers (2 female, 2 male) and the resident band. Adam Murby (magician) presented two shows.
