Duw Duw (CD)

In 2012, guitarist and singer Dai Price and double bassist Rupert Gillett were jamming in one of South-East London's grubbier boozers when accordionist Alan Dunn and fiddler Bob Loveday asked if they could join in. Lo and behold, Dai & the Ramblers were born. A year or so later, the band were asked to play a gig in ex Thin Lizzy manager Ted Carroll's back garden. Excited by what he heard, Ted suggested hooking them up with Grammy Award-winning producer Liam Watson to record their debut album at Toe Rag studios in Hackney. Over three days in the studio, it wasn't hard to bottle their gutsy home-grown folk 'n' blues sound. They kept it simple: four musicians, a handful of mics and no fussing around.
