Multi award-winning electronic folk band from the Highlands of Scotland. Over the past decade and more, Elephant Sessions have grown from grassroots beginnings to become one of the most prominent acts in contemporary folk music, performing at major festivals and venues across the UK, Europe, Australia and North America, including Glastonbury, WOMAD, Celtic Connections, Colours of Ostrava, SXSW and Byron Bay Bluesfest. They are comprised of Euan Smillie (fiddle), Alasdair Taylor (mandolin), Calum MacQuarrie (bass) and Greg Barry (drums, samples). Creating a progressive blend of intricate tunes, with a bass and drum heavy backline, their music combines the very best of folk, funk and electronica, resulting in a new and exciting sound, with four studio albums and renowned energetic live shows earning them a loyal international fanbase and critical acclaim.
Elephant session is a fantastic dynamic group, with creativity. However, for a fan of instrumental music, I was a bit disappointed by the over-presence of the bass, drums and light effects. It hides the melody. However, I will keep listening on CDs with the same fun! I recommend this band for dancing, as it is better than most electronic disco music, it is instrumental!!
