That's her husband Darrel Higham on guitar, one of the friendliest guys I've ever met, a musician's musician, and a true Cochranite. I was lucky enough to share a stage with him once. His wife is absolutely top-notch!!

Beautiful.
It's true, Darrel is one of the finest pickers around and a gentleman to boot. Seems he married a very purty and talented lady too...

You're not kidding! Then again, he's not exactly the hunchback of the Notre Dame himself, is he? Some guys have all the luck...

Man, thank you for these clips, and the heads-up to Imelda and Darrel, et al. That's some serious high-focus funkabilly...great players, full intensity, great look, Imelda belts and melts a vocal besides looking great. And a bodhran besides! Does that make it CELtic funkabilly?
These folks got lots of the true juice, and I'll be looking for more of them. Very cool.

Her and the boys are something else alright. I'll be going to see her play in Cork in December. Dublin psychobilly legends Spellbound are on the bill too.
As for the bodhrán...The Shakin' Pyramids used one aswell

I loved it, thanks for posting. That whole band could really groove together. And as far as Imelda, I know the stripe in the hair isn't new but the swirl was cool!

If you look closely, at about 36 seconds in when the guitar enters, you'll see Jeff Beck looking on from the corner table in the middle of the frame. There's a good shot of him again at about 2:19. Cool, eh? I was lucky enough to be at the taping.
