Sunday 27th November: The Darcy DaSilva Band (Hosted by Dave Keir)
After being together for three months, The Darcy DaSilva Band have played at venues such as The Roxy 171, The Tron Theatre, The Globe in Dumfries and are soon to be performing at The King Tuts before Christmas. They enjoy writing and performing and would like to share their music with everyone who’d like to hear it.
Darcy DaSilva is a singer-songwriter from Moniaive in Dumfries and Galloway. She draws on inspiration from the interesting people she meets and the places she visits. This year Darcy is completely focusing on music and this has led to her going on tour with Creative Scotland and starting to record her first album.
Calum Morrison is a guitarist from the South Side of Glasgow. He also sings beautiful and is thought to be the glue of the band. He is currently studying at the RCS in Glasgow and is a song-writer in his own right.
Eddie Seaman is originally from Letih but is now also studing in Glasgow at the RCS. He is a dedicated Highland Piper but also a sensitive whistle player which is mainly what he does on Darcy’s songs but occasionally he’ll get out the Border Pipes for a tune!
Malcolm Bushby, originally from Tasmania, is the newest addition to the band. He is a fiddle player who currently lives in Newcastle. He studied at the Lews Castle College on Benbecular but now is a full time teacher and musician.
Darcy has worked with musicians such as Karine Polwart, Aaron Jones and Phil Cunningham and loves collaborating. She enjoys sharing her music and is always writing.
