Carr/MacKintosh/Plumb
15 years in the plotting, these virtuosic musicians, known for their gleeful boundary pushing and exploration with traditional musics are finally working on new music together. Promoting an album recorded in live takes in Sweden in 2024, this is edge of the seat traditional and traditional inspired melodies pushed by the freedom to listen and improvise from three masters of their craft.
Luke Plumb is a world respected mandolinist based back in Tasmania after almost two decades spent performing, recording, teaching and gathering music from around the world. While primarily known for his work with musicians in the Celtic world (Shooglenifty, Andy Irvine), since returning home he has formed active collaborations with musicians from Greece, Slovenia and Afghanistan and continues to write and produce new and original music. Working as a musician at MONA, on frequent new projects with Van Diemen’s Band and producing adventurous recording for other artists, he is constantly in demand for his unique ear and musical instincts.
James MacKintosh is a world renowned drummer/percussionist best known for his work in the band Shooglenifty and in the last decade the Transatlantic Sessions. He is a respected tutor and originator of the reframing of drum kit playing for traditional melody accompaniment as evidenced by his sizeable discography with artists from around the globe. Luke’s first solo album of simply mandolin and James on drum kit, "A Splendid Notion" was shortlisted for the Songlines traditional album of the year (2009), this trio is the unofficial follow up and equally as adventurous and musically unexpected.
Ian Carr is an English guitarist who has been living in the Dalarna region of Sweden for the last 28 years. Drawn there because of his love of the traditional folk music specific to the area, he has become one of Sweden's best known traditional accompanists and folk record producers. His complete lack of filter between imagination and technical facility on the instrument has evolved into a style that is often imitated but nothing compares to the original. His discography and collaborations going back to his professional beginnings in the 1980’s is vast and a who’s who of innovators to have come from the traditional music scene in Britain.
Don't miss this stunning trio before they head off to Dorrigo Bluegrass Festival.
