adv. Topsy-turvy (Scottish Gaelic, Ayr. 1783 Burns Green Grow the Rashes)
-
n. Melbourne-based prog folk quartet
A melting-pot of celtic flute, country music, blues guitar, with the energy and free spirit of a bushdance, and a 90’s attitude, stirred by four consummate musicians. Groove-based original music paying homage to sounds, experiences, people, and places.
Sounds like: if Michael McGoldrick, Chris Norman, and Liz Carroll were playing an Ed Reavy tune accompanied by Jimi Hendrix, James Jamerson, and Brian Blade.
Origin: Wurundjeri and Wurundjeri-Willum country.
