September 23rd - Saturday- Wild Willy Barrett's French Connection
click for performance
Encore!
The last time this band visited they certainly had the audience dancing in the aisles with full on fiddle, banjo and Irish pipes interspersed with haunting vocals,cello and
guitar. Barrett, a multi instrumentalist perhaps best known for his work with John Otway, certainly has created a band with a unique sound and a performance full of fun,dry humour and wit.
"very different from anything else you will experience in the UK at the moment ... what a wonderful evening of unique and fresh musical entertainment!” Simon Icke
