Debut show for new line-up of Wookalily, 14 Aug. 2009

Thanks to Adele Ingram-Magee of One-A-Chord Music Promotions in Killyleagh, Co. Down, for the news that the new line-up of Wookalily - an all-women five-piece band in which Adele plays 5-string banjo, banjitar, guitar, and stomp box and sings backing vocals - will hold their debut gig on Friday 14 August 2009 at 9.00 p.m. in McHugh's Bar, 29-31 Queens Square, Belfast, continuing till 1.00 a.m.

The show is hosted by deadonmusic, who describe Wookalily as

Five young women with folk music running through their veins and a catalogue of tunes to keep feet tapping into the wee small hours. They’ve been honing their craft individually for years and as a group have taken the local folk and country scene by storm of late with fantastic performances at events such as ‘The last waltz revisited’.

Also appearing are Swell Time, the only western swing outfit in Belfast, featuring Hornby and Tom McShane; and Tanya Strowger, a singer/songwriter whose 'passionate lyrics and powerful tunes' are 'inspired by the weird and wonderful encounters throughout life as well as a healthy love for Joni Mitchell and Eddi Reader records'.
