Lucky Cat is the second track from Dowally’s debut album.
Rachel wrote this tune, inspired by the little swinging cats you see in Chinese restaurants (but which are actually Japanese figurines believed to bring good luck to the owner!)
The latest addition to Edinburgh’s bustling folk scene, Dowally make unclassifiable, thrillingly energetic music, fusing their love of traditional Scottish music with jazz harmony, Eastern European rhythms and deep Americana raucousness. Dan Abrahams’ driving guitar and Rachel Walker’s swinging fiddle are joined by Phil Alexander (of Moishe’s Bagel fame) on Accordion and Graham Coe (Jellyman’s Daughter) on Cello. After a sell out Fringe Show, and expanding from a duo to a quartet, Dowally released their debut album September 2015, and will be touring the UK at the end of April 2016.
“Lovely Tunes” – Anne Massie
“Dowally’s relaxed style was a lovely breath of fresh air…mixing the traditional with more contemporary, even experimental and jazzy, and all with fabulous musicianship” Leith Folk Club
