Bob Log III at De Barra's Clonakilty

What to Expect

Bob Log III, the American one-man-band musician known for his frenetic slide-guitar-and-drums solo shows, plays De Barra’s Folk Club in Clonakilty on Wednesday 12 August. Log has built a cult reputation on the touring circuit for a stripped-back but relentlessly high-energy live set, playing guitar and drums simultaneously while singing through a modified telephone-style helmet microphone, drawing on blues and rockabilly roots pushed into something closer to garage-rock chaos. It’s a very different kind of night to the folk club’s more traditional acoustic bookings, and De Barra’s compact room and close stage suit a performer whose act depends on close audience interaction. Given the reputation of his live shows, this is one for anyone after a genuinely unusual, high-energy solo performance rather than a quiet listening gig.
