- **Event Name**: Live at The Tuppenny: Billy in the Lowground
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Comparisons have often been made with the Waterboys and the Levellers, but there’s a distinctive tone to Billy in the Lowground that’s all their own, and they’ve resisted being slotted neatly into a pigeonhole from day one.

Suffice to say, they’re a 6-piece West Country Rock band with a distinct Irish influence courtesy of fiddle player Ruth Behan, driven by a tight rhythm section, playing original songs written by Chris Hibberd.

Since forming in 1991, they’ve played many hundreds of gigs in venues small and large all over the UK, as well as more festivals than you can shake a stick at, including Glastonbury, Ashton Court, Village Pump, Bearded Theory, Summer Breeze, Pontardawe International Folk, Larmer Tree, Off the Tracks, Lechlade, Landed, Farmfest, Watchet, Godney Gathering…

They’ve also supported a wide selection of well-known acts including John Otway, Shane McGowan &amp; the Popes, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Waterson &amp; Carthy, Oysterband, Rory McCleod, the Wurzels, Fairport Convention, Wishbone Ash and Transglobal Underground.
