A flute, on a Sunday, in Glesga?!….” laughs the big guy to my left! Murphy’s vocals are enchanting. Her range is incredible, equally at ease with the softer moments as she is with the screams. The inclusion of ‘Hedonia’, which is sung in Swiss-German, was a spi-tingling moment and a real highlight. After a few verses of Murphy on her own, she unleashes spiralling notes on the hurdy gurdy before the band gradually come in. Seven minutes of staggering musicianship that made the neck hairs stand on end. Throw in a spellbinding cover of ‘The Prophet’s Song’, that even the most ardent of Queen fans cannot pick fault with, and it truly was a magical evening. Cellar Darling are something different; modern tales told using classic and mysterious instruments… oh, and don’t forget the shredding. There’s plenty of shredding… on a hurdy gurdy! The band have a few more live dates in the UK, and they will be back to play Download Festival in June. More information can be found here. Review: Dave S. Images: Dave J.
