Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best UK Performance
Gallagher & Lyle
Two magical nights from this legendary duo and their Band made an unforgettable experience for those who were lucky enough to be there. Not having toured together for a number of years made it extra special and their own stage presence and camarderie shone through for all to see.

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best International Performance

From San Francisco came Jefferson Starship that included both Paul Kantner and David Freiberg. The sound and performance was incredible. Nuff said!

Jackie Leven and John Martyn
The late great Jackie Leven played for Mundell Music for over ten years. Always a highlite of the year. An incredible Artist that has left a huge body of work behind that we urge you to explore. It grows stronger every year. We miss you Jackie.
The Legend that was John Martyn visited us for a series of GIGs that have now gone down in history. Oh how lucky we were to be able to experience John with his Band in such intimate surroundings. I can 'feel' the experience still to this day. Thank You John.

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Most Impressive Tribute Band
Tricky Fingers
Their performance was impressive both visually and in sound. The mannerisms of 'Mick J' were uncanny and if only ALL tribute Bands played and presented themselves to this standard........

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best up and coming Artist
Elliott Morris
Guitar skills and song writing far beyond his years! It was refreshing to 'discover' such a huge talent and witness a star in the making. We were also impressed with how he communicated with his audience....First Rate!

Constant Contact
We love this E Marketing Company. For ALL the right reasons! Their presentation cannot be bettered. Reporting covers a broad range of points which assist us with driving our Company further forward.

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best Folk Performance

Delicate harmonies and melodies make this duo a delight to see and experience their show. We expect them to become a 'known' act on the circuit that becomes a force to be reckoned with.

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best Singer Songwriter
Steve Daggett
A superb communicator both with his own breathtaking songs and his interpretation of others. He 'holds you in his hand' as his show progresses and with his wit and charm you arrive at the end of the evening with a warm glow and a smile upon your face. Is'nt this what ALL shows should do?

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best Vocalist
Colin Blunstone
Wispy vocals that are as distinctive as well as mysterious. A style all of his own he turns back the years with stunning performances and hits you with arresting new material.

Frank O'Hagan
We love the 'Hammond Sound'. From the Songwriting, Vocals and style of playing, it just does'nt come any better.

Dave Bronze
A Master at his craft. Impressive to watch and listen, it was an honour to experience his playing in such intimate surroundings.

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best Guitar Award
Mick Taylor
A Rolling Stone comes to Kinross. The phrase ...'a legend in his own time' comes to mind. From the less is more school of guitar playing it really was a privilege to be in his presence. Truly magical to watch and listen.

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best Drummer Backstage
Richard Newman
There are not many Drummers that can step into the breach so to speak with only days to go before a world tour gets underway for a legendary group because their regular Drummer was suddenly unavailable. Well thats what happened to Richard Newman with Jefferson Starship. Incredibly proffessional, you would have thought that he had occupied the Drum seat for years. Aggressive style of playing, we urge you to catch him live!

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best Designed Tour Poster
The Former members (Mike Dolgushkin-Artist)
It is not often that we are sent Posters from touring Bands but on this occasion we did! And what a Poster! Designed by MD who has designed Frank Zappa Album covers and is a legend within the San Francisco fraternity. One for framing!

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best Brewer
Carlsberg
It is not often that we are praised for our efforts in both Music Promotion and Innovation. We say a HUGE thank you to Carlsberg who did just that. With the hospitality industry becoming more event driven than ever you can expect them to be at the front of advisory bodies in this very important field.

Mundell Music Awards 2013 - Best Young Scottish Band
Skrumpy Jack
Ones to watch! They impressed us with their efforts both on stage and with their performance. At such a young age it was refreshing to see and we hope and trust that they develop to their full potential.

Paul Kantner, Mick Taylor & Big Brother & The Holding Co Backstage

Big Brother and the Holding Co played at the Famous Bein Inn for two nights in Scotland in 2006. It was a great gig and the Band even had Jerry Donahue with them. It was the ONLY time they EVER played Scotland. The second night was incredible! Poster available from www.mundellmusic.com


Paul Kantner with Jefferson Starship played Backstage at the Green Hotel in Kinross in October 2012. I am sure that when you know that the venue only holds 130 people this WAS a historic night! The picture says it all! After having seen them at Knebworth a few years ago and in London nothing could compere! Poster available from www.mundellmusic.com


The Legendary Mick Taylor played Two nights with his Band at the Inn at Lathones in 2010. With a capacity of only 60 people there was no wonder that we had folks coming from Japan, Germany and London to catch this never to be repeated event! With a five piece Band that included Max Middleton it wasawesome. Twisted Sister and Blind Willie McTell were the standout tracks. Poster available from www.mundellmusic.com


Next time that Mick Taylor played for us was at Backstage at the Green Hotel Kinross. On this occasion Mick again had a five piece Band that included Zoot Money on Keyboards. Great night. Poster available from www.mundellmusic.com

Backstage Review from the Scotsman re GIG Paul Jones & Dave Kelly

By David Pollock
Published on Monday 14 January 2013 00:00

PROMOTER David Mundell, formerly of the Bein Inn in Glenfarg, has a good thing going with his semi-regular gigs out in the country at the Green Hotel in Kinross, where he has a dedicated concert space through the back decked out in decades of rock memorabilia.

Paul Jones & Dave Kelly

Green Hotel, Kinross

****

The display reflects his own personal taste in music bookings, with classic rock and blues being high on the agenda, and very little from the mid-80s onwards. Yet he chooses and puts on his shows with an enthusiast’s attention to detail.

Here he had turned to duo and sometime Blues Band members Paul Jones and Dave Kelly to draw a healthy crowd, and they delivered a set of more thantwo hours which shone with authenticity. It was also a lot more textured than might be expected from just two guys on stage, with the combination of Kelly’s dextrous guitar playing and former Manfred Mann member and current Radio 2 presenter Jones’ wailing harmonica combining in richly pleasing style.

Their credentials were lightly worn, although they couldn’t help drop in the odd sly reference, for example how Ry Cooder taught Kelly How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live? and Jones Jesus On the Mainline – both highlights – or how Jones played with Percy Sledge.

They belong in such company. Jones’s accent and inflection was breathtaking on Big Bill Broonzy’s Key to the Highway, Kelly’s slide guitar shone on Muddy Waters’ I Can’t Be Satisfied, and songs by Robert Johnson (Dust My Broom), Nat Adderley (Work Song) and Jimmy Reed (Bright Lights, Big City) were played with a winning combination of reverential affection and real excitement for the material.
