Events on Friday 5th December

“The Mangledwurzels are a three-piece Scrumpy & Western band based in Somerset writing and performing in the style of Adge Cutler. Formed in early 2005, the band has established themselves across the West Country with their highly entertaining live performances blending classic Wurzels songs with self-penned original compositions and pop standards'Mangled' in true Wurzels tradition. See http://www.mangledwurzels.co.uk for more information.”

“...the sweet-spot where great things meet: where tradition meets with originality and retro nostalgia gets down and dirty with musical innovation. Originally conceived as a cross between vocal jazz and blue-eyed soul, the Bristol six-piece is all that and more, gracefully merging genres and styles to create music that is as unique as it is engaging and accessible.”

“They are writers, composers, song collectors and multi-instrumentalists. Their music is a unique blend of original material inspired by traditional melody, and traditional song inspired by modern rhythms.”
From: Jackson Hill

“Afro-Cuban dance and tropical rhythms played with tremendous style and panache, so much so that they are fast becoming one of the top bands in the UK. Since their initial conception the lineup has seen many changes, the latest of which has produced the show which must be witnessed tonight.”
