Albannach

[Rindy]

With the administrator of Albannach's permission, I thought I would let you know what is going on with this new fabulous band.. There is also a clip at the end if you want to see them in action.. Hopefully new CD's will be out soon.

Hello,

As you may be aware, Albannach is a new Scottish band formed by 5 former members of the band Clann An Drumma.

While parting company from Clann An Drumma was a sad moment for all involved, especially for you ? their fantastic fans, some of the group decided that they wanted to carry on giving their fans the kind of loud, blood-pumping, euphoric entertainment that you all crave so much !

Jamesie, Jacquie, Donnie, Kyle and Aya, would like to thank Joe Kilna MacKenzie for their time with Clann An Drumma, and wish him all the best for the future with Clann An Drumma. We are sure they will continue to be just as successful as ever.

To that end; Jamesie, Jacquie, Donnie, Kyle and Aya have decided to get together and form a new band? so, please join us in witnessing the birth of ?Albannach? !!

Albannach is Gaelic for ?Scottish?, and the guys already have new music, a new feature packed website and they are now planning their first tour as Albannach.

The tour will be commencing early in 2006, and they plan to cover as much of Europe as possible, North America? they may even venture into Canada? and not to forget their home country, SCOTLAND!

We hope that as previous fans of the group, or even if you have never heard of us before - that you will join us and become a fully fledged fan of Albannach.

For more information, and for regular updates on what is happening with Albannach, please visit our new website : Albannach

Thanks for reading !

Slainte,
Albannach !

Well...this should be interesting to see how the newly formed Albannach does. Will their music be of the same sort? Blood pumping, foot stomping sort? Will Jacquie do any more singing? She has such a lovely voice I hope they'll take advantage of her (voice that is...)

I've checked out their site too...once it really gets up and going then we should know more. It seems they are busy booking already though...

Keep me posted Rindy!!

With Jamesie Johnstons permission, I thought I would post his story that he posted on the Albannach's website:


Just a wee note to let you know how the gig went last night.
Am sure you have read black devon and pink pixes posts but i'll give you a wee run down as well.

Arrived last night early to set up the drums, lights and P.A system....auld reekie was well cold last night so we ran about trying to keep warm!

After we set up it was of to the bar down stairs for a wee refreshment....its hard work you know.

Met Black devon down there and a wee lassie from the other side of the pond......must add it was great to see afriendly face from the states.......and yes MUM we looked after her!

Of up stairs we went......the other band was on first and the natives were warming up....great atmosphere all thanks to the organizer Fiona Robertson......she had the place looking great.....flags and posters everywhere.

Our good friend Davie Ross takes to the mic and gave a heart warming speech as he always does.....then it was time for the thunder......you could feel the electric charge running through the crowd.......dirks and swords were drawn, all glinting of the lights set up behind us.......Donnie cranks up the pipes....the crowd roar....Kyle bursts in to rythem......Jacks and my base drums shake the floor and Aya start'S the rockin......HERE WE GO!

It was bounc'in.....at some points it gets a bit mental with these gigs....the crowd has such passion they have the whole place jumpin and swayin to the drums.....its a sight to behold!

Towards the end of the show your good friend JACOBITE 1745 was up the front giv'in the whole crowd a lesson on how to dance tribal style......am sure B.D and P.P will agree he did us proud!

Again it was another magical nite.......i think band and crowd alike were all left exhausted ......but all ready and waiting for the next tribal awkening!

Slainte........Jamesie.........ALBANNACH FOREVER!!

Good job, Rindy! Thanks for providing all the info, video and updates on Albannach. I am very anxious to hear what kind of music they perform and if they ever plan to come to the western states! Many thanks again!

[Firecracker]

If anyone should live in the Gatlinburg, TN or Glasgow, KY
area be sure to make it out to those Highland Games.
Albannach will be there!

They are both great games! Hope to see you there.
