ANNOUNCEMENT
Tickets are now on sale for our traditional pre-Cropredy gig at the Brase!
We were waiting for the line-up and release of tickets by our lovely friends at Fairport - this year's festival line up looks amazing! Visit their page and get tickets before they run out.
And while you're at it, don't forget to book to see what will be a special gig from us - it's our 10th anniversary and we will be playing material from all our albums - plus of course the much loved and anticipated 'tribute' section at the end - who could it be this year?? We're excited but don't want to spoil the surprise!
We're thrilled to announce that joining us on August 6th at the Brasenose Fringe for our traditional pre-Cropredy bash will be Virginia Kettle's Rolling Folk featuring the lovely Virginia of Merry Hell fame!!
As a prolific writer of songs, Rolling Folk gives Virginia the chance to share a variety of songs not included in Merry Hell’s sets. It is not a replacement for the band, but an additional outlet for her creativity and energy. Offering the same level of songwriting excellence as Merry Hell, but a different, more intimate feel, plus additional musical explorations, Rolling Folk surrounds Virginia with a fabulous and interesting selection of players, particularly multi, multi-instrumentalist Chris Lee, (Full House, Time Bandits, Family Mahone, Galleon Blast, Rad Co., etc, etc etc) and percussionist, whistle player and flautist, Mark Wooley (Ade Edmondson's Bad Shepherds, Full House, session master and more) and more recently ace fiddle player Clare ‘Fluff’ Smith, again a (young) veteran of numerous projects, including a stint with The Incredible String Band. Add in Virginia’s bandmate and husband John, all giving breadth and depth to her musical and lyrical visions. She has been described by Folk North West magazine as ‘The best thing to happen in British Folk for years’ and who are we to argue?
Rolling Folk’s debut album “East Of Elsewhere” gained fabulous reviews and significant radio airplay both within the UK, and around the world.
We're chuffed to have them with us!
See you on the lovely field and at the Brase on the Wednesday night to kick off what will be a fabulous weekend of Cropredy loveliness!
