Concert Report
Bernie Marsden with support from ‘Wood & Wire’ - featuring Doug Carroll and Kenny Hisley. This was a wonderful evening of brilliant music with Bernie playing with an eclectic mix of deep blues, classic shuffles, funk and country for over an hour. Doug was invited by Bernie to accompany him for a few numbers towards the end of the evening. See the "http://www.berniemarsden.co.uk" Bernie Marsden web site for more information about Bernie.
Former Whitesnake guitarist, Bernie Marsden, took time from a busy schedule to visit Dumfries and Galloway. Bernie was keen to take the chance to pass on his skills to young people. Masterclasses where organised at Lockerbie Academy, Dumfries Academy, Dalry School and Castle Douglas High School.
He was supported by 2 local guys, Doug Carrol originally from Dalbeattie and Kenny Hisley of Castle Douglas. This pair opened the concert evening with an hour of their own special brand of accousticated music.
Wood and Wire
‘Wood and Wire’ is an outstanding local acoustic band who sing a wide variety of songs from Rock to traditional Scots and Burns, with their own slant. Band members, Doug Carroll and Kenny Hilsley play mainly at Burns Suppers around Dumfries and Galloway and Ayrshire.
The band who have played together for 12 years, got its name because Kenny, used to be a joiner (wood), and Doug, was a TV and radio engineer (wire), and also because they play acoustic guitars.
