The White Horse Guitar Club release new single ‘Wide River to Cross’
The White Horse Guitar Club are a unique outfit based in Ballincollig, Co Cork. 11 Men, 11 Voices and 11 Guitars – they play the finest Americana fused with Irish roots. The band members come from all walks of life; one is a stonemason, another an engineer, a photographer, a teacher, but they all share a common bond in their passion for singing, playing and performing live.
In 2012, band member Joe Carey invited guitarists to join him at his renowned music venue, The White Horse in Ballincollig, with no set agenda other than gathering together and playing guitar. From a turnout of around 20, 11 musicians emerged, and they have been together ever since. Not only did they form a band, they forged close friendships with one another and strong connections with their audiences in Ireland and abroad.
It has been a busy year for the band, they played a sold out Irish tour in the spring, and now their autumn tour is headed the same way. Just back from hugely successful appearances on the Belonging Bandstand at All Together Now, and Hot Press, Trailer Park and Salty Dog stages at Electric Picnic. On Fri 1st Sept they released a new single from their album, ‘Live at The White Horse’ – the Buddy Miller track, ‘Wide River To Cross’. Buddy Miller is an award winning singer, songwriter, musician and producer. He has written and produced for artists including Dolly Parton, Robert Plant, Patty Griffin, Richard Thompson.
“The White Horse Guitar Club choose songs that allow them to delve into the depths of often unexplored emotions. Through the music and the songs they can confront feelings of loss, grief and despair which in everyday life might be hard to dwell on, balanced with songs of love, adventure and joy. Those songs include Townes Van Zandt ‘If I Needed You’, Sister Rosetta Thorpe ‘This Train Is Bound For Glory’, Louvin Brothers ‘Cash On The Barrelhead’ and their new release, Buddy Miller ‘Wide River To Cross’.”
