Luke Carey plays a Friday night solo set with guitar and loop pedal at Mad Squirrel St Albans.
Luke Carey is back at Mad Squirrel on Friday 4 December, returning to the St Albans taproom for a solo set. It's a guitar-and-loop-pedal performance, so he's building the sound out in front of you rather than playing along to a backing track.
If you've seen him before, you know how it works: he layers guitar parts on top of each other in real time, looping a line and then building on it until a single guitar starts to sound like a full band. It's a live-looping act, so the set is constructed right there on stage, and the whole thing is played solo.
Mad Squirrel is a taproom that looks over St Albans Abbey, and they run guest festbiers alongside Bavarian-inspired food, which they keep on the go alongside their live bookings. It's a spot that works as well for a drink and a bite as it does for a gig, so you can come for the music and stay for the beer and food, or just drop in for the set.
