Blowzabella
Saturday May 18 @ 8:00 pm
£19Blowzabella is a genuinely unique band that makes an inimitable, driving, drone-based wall-of-sound played with a fabulous sense of melody, rhythmic expertise and sheer feeling They compose their own music which is influenced by English and European traditional folk music and song – a shared culture with ancient roots.
Andy Cutting – diatonic button accordion; Jo Freya – vocals, saxophones, clarinet; Paul James – vocals, bagpipes, saxophones; David Shepherd – violin; Barn Stradling – bass guitar; Jon Swayne – bagpipes, saxophones.
Many of their tunes are “standards” in the modern British/European folk repertoire and are played by people all over the world. Bands across Europe who experiment with folk music often cite Blowzabella as a major influence. Much loved and respected, there is no one else quite like them.

Pete says:
This ‘supergroup’ were last with us in March 2018 when their performance was described by Al as ‘one of those truly special nights. They are without doubt one of the most influential bands in Folk Music with a reputation that is as strong today as it ever has been.
NB: Ticket numbers will be restricted for this gig so we are able to create a large space for those wishing to dance. Not to be missed!
