The full King Chiaullee line-up appeared to a packed house at the Mananan Festival at the Erin Arts Centre last month. For those who already knew and loved their music, it was a rare opportunity to catch an extended concert set, for those who hadn’t heard the Chiaullees before, it was time to fi nd out why they have travelled so widely and had such success with Manx music. There was time for old favourites as well as brand new arrangements, plenty of good tunes, good humour and undoubtedly the best shirts in folk! True to form, there were exciting new developments...Gilno and Russell both tackled the mighty glockenspiel (the highlight of the evening for many ), Gilno picked up the clarinet as well as whistles, David showed us he could play bass as well as fi ddle and piano, Russell moved to guitar from bass and bodhran for one number, Adam mastered the all important Munchy Seeds as well as fi ddle and bouzouki and Matty kept them all in order on mandolin and guitar. Don’t make us wait too long for the next gig, boys! www.kciom.com
