Electro folk pioneers The Drystones are bringing a night of big bad beats for badass barn dancing to your local venue/nightclub/disco/village hall. All you have to do is leave your preconceptions of folk at the door and maybe bring some sequins…

For their new album tour, the ‘indecently talented’ duo of Alex Garden (fiddle) and Ford Collier (guitar, low whistle) are joining forces for the first time with ‘percussion maestro’ Evan Carson (Sam Kelly and the Lost Boys, Seth Lakeman), who’s powerful grooves make sitting still a difficult task.

Having played slots at Glastonbury Avalon Stage, supported top acts such as Elephant Sessions, Steeleye Span, Ray Davies and got a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nomination under their belts, The Drystones know how to please a crowd. Whether you’re more at home in a crusty tavern or a sweaty disco, a Drystones show is the place for you.

Tikoda originates from an obsession with the driving rhythms of the underground dance music scene endlessly repeating across sound system culture and folk music alike. Experimenting with improvised live electronics to create simultaneously intimate and vast soundscapes, shaking the room and encasing listeners in mesmerising noise. Tikoda is the experimental and loud outlet of Bristol-based musician/producer Theo Passingham. https://eartrumpetmusic.co.uk
