The Mermaid Avenue Sessions
About
Songs from Mermaid Avenue play The Lomond Hotel to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the iconic album by Billy Bragg and Wilco, which set new music to previously unheard lyrics by seminal folk icon Woody Guthrie. Mermaid Avenue provided an intriguing glimpse behind the fascist-bashing folkie persona of Guthrie, revealing him to be a joker, lover, boozer and - dare we say - horndog, and spawned the classics ‘California Stars’ and ‘Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key’.“I can highly recommend a night spent listening to these wonderful local musicians interpret some classic tunes from Mermaid Avenue. A heart-warming and rousing time was had … combined with spontaneous singalongs which added to the magic of an excellent evening.” – Myles O’Neil-Shaw (PBS FM - 5 ft High & Rising)
Performed by Michael Burrows, Craig Kelly, Bek Chapman, Damian Cafarella, Stirling Gill-Chambers
