Albannach's performance at the Frederick festival and games was amazing. I have several of the old band's (Clan an Drumma) cds, and I love the music. But to see them in person, is another whole level of the experience. The pounding drums seem to get into your blood. They are so energetic, that I can understand why they might not perform at Richmond. I don't know if they could expend that much energy for two straight days. I don't know any of the member's names other than Jaquline, but the long haired drummer was totally soaked in sweat by the end of each set in spite of the temperatures being in the low to mid 60s F. I would venture to say he must have lost several pounds (weight) during the performances. Anyhow if anyone has an opportunity to see them perform, do not miss it. I just checked on the band's website and found that they will be performing live on Fox TV for the opening ceremonies at the Charlotte World 600 Nascar race on May 28. I believe the telecast starts at 5PM eastern time.
