Swap are "an electrically charged combination of beauty and excitement, danger and laughter"

Dave McLean the west coast arts supremo who walks so tall on the Isle of Man with his massive involvement with the Centenary Centre in Peel and who matches his words with real action has reminded us of the teriffic gig coming up at the CC on the 29th October next:

SWAP will be at the Centenary Centre, Peel on Sat. Oct 29th. SWAP consist of Karen Tweed (the all Ireland box champion and ex Poozies, ) Ian Carr , (founder member of the Old Rope String Band and now a regular with Edie Reader, Kate Rusby and John McCusker); Ola Backstrom and Carina Normansson , two Swedish fiddle players. They play a mixture of Swedish polkas, schottis and songs, and tunes from all over the British Isles. Not only this but King Chiaullee have agreed to do a set . All in all, a gig to really look forward to and a rare and very welcome opportunity to see world class players on the island.

Tickets are apparently selling well, so if you are planning on supporting this important gig, make sure that you get yours while the going's good. Further info about the band is on their website at www.swapmusic.info.
