The last instalment of Mexican Dave Presents Folky Sh*t at the CiderBox of 2025, this time Christmas edition!
There will be festive shenanigans, mulled cider, the odd shanty and as always an incredible lineup:
B-Sydes
Modern folk that’s as powerful as it is personal.
Modern and authentic folk delivered with power, personality and purpose. B-SYDES (aka rising singer-songwriter Ben Sydes) has been capturing the hearts and minds of audiences since his first EPs and critically-acclaimed debut album ‘Constant Fictions’.
Having shared the stage with the likes of Frank Turner, Mark Chadwick (Levellers), Gaz Brookfield, Pet Needs, Ferocious Dog, Beans On Toast, Ben Ottewell (Gomez) and countless more, he’s honed his craft, found his true voice, and has set himself up to chase the many ambitions within his music.
FMI Clatters
FMI Clatters, as he is known on stage, has enchanted audiences with his blend of original songs, parodies and the odd sea shanty. He brings intrigue, humour and poignant lyrics that can tug at the heartstrings. Played on guitar, mandolin and voice with the assistance of an old tankard!
He has graced the line-up of several festivals. Glastonbury, Beautiful Days, Watchet, Here for the Music and OutCider festival, to name a few and has opened gigs for notable artists including; Mark Chadwick, Dan Donnelley and Jon Sevink, Will Varley, Gaz Brookfield, Three Daft Monkeys, The Leylines and Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs. This has lead to two capacity gigs at the prestigious Bimble Inn and three slots at Glastonbury Festival.
