Daddy Naggins

Ukrainian Community Centre, 14 Royal Terrace, Edinburgh EH7 5AB

The Daddy Naggins played EFC first during our sojourn at Summerhall and pleased everybody with their music. The band unites five powerful voices to bring you traditional bluegrass classics, folk songs and well-known modern covers - all with that traditional high lonesome bluegrass harmony. Rip-roaring instrumentals bring each member of the band's technical skill on their instrument to the foreground, and will get you dancing along the way!

The Glasgow-based band were formed in 2010 by Darren Young and Garry McFadden. Darren is the band's lead vocalist and a first-class songwriter as well as a great flat-picker and rhythm guitarist. Garry is a hard-driving 5-string banjo player, gifted composer, banjo instructor and vocalist. Hazel Mairs joined the guys with her rock-steady double bass and lead vocals and has been steeped in bluegrass music from an early age. They they have been going from strength to strength ever since. Tonight the band is a 4-piece comprising 'all the above' plus Aileen Gobbi (5-string fiddle). The Daddy Naggins unites powerful harmony vocals to perform traditional bluegrass classics, folk songs and well known modern covers - all with that authentic ‘high lonesome sound’.

The Daddy Naggins continues to enhance a reputation as one of the busiest, most energetic bands on the Scottish scene. As well as being stalwarts of the Glasgow pub circuit, you can also catch the band playing at folk clubs and festivals all over the UK.
