Duck Soup
Brighton
As musician Paul Burgess once said in a review, there´s eclectic – and then there´s Duck Soup. The band features Dan Quinn (melodeons and vocals), Ian Kearey (dobro, bass, mandolin, etc) and Adam Bushell (marimba, mandolin, phono-fiddle and musical saw) and they perform traditional English folk songs and melodies from England, Shetland and Quebec. To the tradition, they add a hint of music hall, a dollop of groove and a soupçon of surreality and then play it all with vigour and verve.
The Cellar is London’s longest-running folk club; it’s a weekly, non-profit club, run on a voluntary basis, now meeting on Monday nights. We have professional guests every week, supported by resident singers and musicians, and performers from the floor.
