Dallahan, Acoustic Music Centre, Edinburgh Fringe

A disappointing Dallahan gig?  Really?  Well, yes, but certainly not through any fault of the band who gave another storming performance, with plenty of humour thrown in.  The same settled line up as when I reviewed their performance at Tradfest in April so once again little to add to what I've written before about their abilities as a live act here and here, and why my appetite for the forthcoming third album grows ever stronger.

So why the slight let down?  Well, this being the Fringe, the show only gets a one hour slot, frustrating when you know they have such a strong repertoire.  Worse, the enforced move of the Acoustic Music Centre from the wonderful St Brides to the new location on Royal Terrace has resulted in much poorer acoustics, as well as poorer viewing for the audience.  Let's hope that can be resolved next hear.

Dallahan was a one-off performance, but there are shows running at the AMC until 27 August.
