Untampered, uninhibited freshness (London Folk Magazine) ****
Extraordinary soulful vocals, Ewan seems to be challenging the King of Celtic Soul for his crown (Rock n Reel Magazine) ****
Ewan Macintyre delivers an eclectic show of transatlantic folk/ soul with heartfelt sensibilities, bombastic and effortless showmanship from a tight 6 piece of Guitar/ Banjo, Upright Bass, Drums and Fiddle plus two backing vocalists in a highly intimate and original show with lead vocals critically likened to Marc Bolan, Van Morrison, John Martyn and Robert Plant. Ewan broke in his music with award winning Scottish Bluegrass outfit Southern Tenant Folk Union, solo tours across Canada and Europe and soundtrack compositions (Fantastic Life of Mini Rubinski and Circus of Dreams).
Twice nominated for Live Act of the Year at the Scots Trad Awards as well as the '23 SAMAs, An Dannsa Dub have garnered critical acclaim for their ability to seamlessly blend the mystical sounds of Gaelic song and traditional Scottish instruments with the pulsating rhythms and deep basslines of digital dub.
An Dannsa Dub have electrified crowds across the UK festival circuit and beyond, including Glastonbury Festival, Celtic Connections, Dubcamp (France), and Goa Sunsplash (India). Their distinctive sound, fuelled by top-tier musicians, continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
