The Chair - The Road To Hammer Junkie: Delighted to say the much-anticipated follow-up album to 'Huinka' has just arrived at Foot Stompin'! An irrepressible musical juggernaut, Orcadian eight-piece The Chair are a fab band to see live on stage, somehow compelling the most reserved audience to beat a path to the dance floor. Orcadian melodies are mashed up with blues, dub and klezmer in a rampant ruckus of fiddles, banjos, accordions and drums. Collectively, the sound bursts with the energy of a rock gig, yet remains acoustic at heart.The Chair manage to translate their barnstorming festival performances onto CD without losing any of the energy and dynamism of the live shows. This album is one to put a smile on your face, a bounce in your step and warmth in your heart. This is folk music for the 21st century, traditional and forward looking. 11 tracks of tunes and songs bursting with great musicianship and sparkling arrangements. The Chair are: Douglas Montgomery - fiddle, viola & mandolin, Kenny Rich - fiddle, Brian Cromarty - banjo, mandolin & vocals, Bob Gibbon – accordion, Gavin Firth - guitar, Erik Laughton – drums, bodhran, Robbie Thomson - percussion.
