Jiggy have released a new video for all those in self-isolation and for the healthcare workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. Check it out below as they give their own spin on Adam Sutherland fiddle reel, The Road to Errogie.
The track features on their new album Hypernova which we reviewed here. In Johnny’s words, The Road to Errogie “starts with a rhythm set by the Indian mouth percussion, konnakol, from guest, Ilyas Raphael Khan. When the tune comes in, it’s initially from the whistle of another guest, Alan Doherty, before also being taken up by flute and pipes. The track finally fades with yet another guest contribution, Sruthi Ravali Manda, her vocals producing a very different sort of mouth music, far from percussive, this is light and lyrical.”
He concluded his review: “With Hypernova, Jiggy have pulled off that trickiest of balancing acts. An album that both encourage you out of your chair to get you dancing around the kitchen and, for those that stubbornly refuse to get up, it provides enough intricacies and subtleties to engage the armchair listener.”
