This last weekend we saw Adrian Edmondson & the Bad Shepherds at the Union Chapel supported by Samantha Crain and Wreckless Eric.
The Bad Shepherds thing is to take punk songs, and songs of that period, and set them to folk music (Nouvelles Vagues do a similar thing but set to café/lounge music). The fiddler and pipe player were absolutely awesome talents and Adrian is no slouch on the mandolin either.
The first warm up act was a young woman from Oklahoma, Sam Crain, who played guitar and sang lovely songs. Wreckless Eric, though, was not our cup of tea – a little too punk and rough and ready.
The venue was fabulous, a great looking church in a square layout with an amazing ceiling. The only agrivation was that it was out in Islington/Highbury which meant that we had to drive through the West End to get home and even at that time of night it was heaving adding time and stress to the journey.
