CPI Archive: Unseen Sounds: Breakdown Rambler.
BANDS are like families right? Well, if so, allow me to introduce the Breakdown Rambler clan. A mixed marriage of folk and rock, the family is held together by twin sons, trad and funk, perpetually screaming for attention the back seat of the car, while old grandpa blues sleeps gently in his rocker. This, you might say, is a long way to go for a simple image, but in my experience there’s nothing like the gratuitous use of a metaphor to perk the interest for what’s to come... “We all got together in college and met through the MusicSoc up in Galway. Niall and Fiachra were doing a lot of busking at the time and one night we got drunk together in the GPO and said fuck it, we’d form a band. We were a long time looking for a drummer until we found Guillaume - and then the civil service stole him. It’s true actually, every member in the band is a civil servant bar me,” said Joycey.
