Monthly celebration of local food and drink at this complex. Music this month provided by Mike Bowden & the A917
Following a hard won, but decisive victory over Big C, Mike Bowden returns with a new and exciting project... Conjured out of the magical atmosphere that pervades the East Neuk of Fife come Mike Bowden & the A917
This five piece, original, song driven band, have been honing their individual sound up and down the east coast of Scotland, culminating in gigs at prestigious Edinburgh venues, Stramash, and the Voodoo Rooms. They have since performed in England and Wales, and are recently received rave reviews for their performance at Carlisle Blues Festival . The band will be touring extensively in 2020. The songs reveal many influences, but remain rooted in the blues. Mike, and long time drummer/percussionist friend, Big Vern, have taken the legacy left by Blue Swamp and moved it forward with the aid of some fine musicians..... Martin Rhydderch (keyboard), Les Cowley (slide guitar and vocal), and Sean Walker (bass)
The music on this page is taken from the album 'Gravy Train'
The live set is punctuated with Mike's hilarious between song banter! … We are now booking for 2020 …. so give us a call!!

“I particularly loved Mike Bowden & The A917 Band, just quality throughout the band and Mike’s powerful voice along with Pete MacLeod’s driving bass had me bopping in my chair, I’d recommend them to any blues club or festival as they really deliver the goods. ”
