Bachué performed their last ever gig on Wednesday 23rd August 2006 in Edinburgh. After eleven years the band
decided to call it a day. Consistently described by critics
as “ground-breaking”, “original” and “unique”,
Bachué have enjoyed over a decade of innovative music-making
in the vanguard of the diverse and vibrant Scottish music
scene.
Corrina
Hewat and David Milligan, the band’s linchpins and founding
members, would like to devote more time to their individual
projects, and pursue some new musical ventures, as well as
concentrate on directing the ‘folk-orchestra’ The
Unusual Suspects.
Individually,
their current projects include Corrina’s duo with Kathryn
Tickell plus the vocal trio with Karine Polwart & Annie
Grace, while David’s include his jazz trio, the Colin
Steele Quintet and the Simon Thoumire & David Milligan
duo.
Corrina
and David have released this statement in August 2006:
“It was a
difficult decision to make as we’ve loved every minute
of Bachué, and all the musicians we’ve worked
with over the years, but we both feel it’s time to move
on to new things.
We’d
like to apologise for the short notice, but our gig on Wednesday
23rd August will be our last, and we'd like to give our fans,
who have been supporting us and coming to concerts throughout
the years, an opportunity to come along for the last time
to hear us at our best!”
The
line up for their farewell gig was:
Corrina on vocals & Camac Aziliz acoustic harp
& Camac Electroharp
David on Electric piano
Donald Hay on drums
Colin Steele on trumpet
