THE WORLD IS OUR OYSTERBAND

A tradition just like Christmas Pudding and summer holiday ads on Boxing Day, the yearly pilgrimage to the Irish Centre to see the Oysterband, was as ever, to witness a performance to warm the cockles of the heart and gladden the soul. When John Jones sings his first note of the evening, a tingle of excitement courses through the audience. With a new album titled ‘Meet You There’ planned for March 2007, this was the ideal opportunity to hear new tracks such as ‘Where The World Divides’ and ‘Bury Me Standing’ complimenting the Oysterband classics, ‘One Green Hill’, ‘When I’m Up I Can’t Get Down’, ‘Put Out The Lights’ and ‘The World Upside Down’. With the audience clapping, dancing and singing along at full throttle, this was as usual, a very special musical event. Respect is earned; we respect the legends who are the Oysterband.
