OLD BABY MACKEREL
Old Baby Mackerel play high-energy, foot-stomping Bluegrass, featuring a dizzying line-up of renowned UK Bluegrass musicians. Their music uses the rhythmic sounds of banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle and double bass to get knees bouncing and elbows swinging to the virtuosic sound of blistering solos and tasteful harmonies.

Be prepared to be transported back in time to the early 20th century and across the Atlantic to North America, where songs dramatised the small-town fascination with locomotion, religion, and the veneration of whisky and bootleg liquor.

CAUTION HORSES
Born out of a late-night bluegrass blood pact, Caution Horses play hot dancy american folktunes with a sharp jazzy edge and close harmonies.

JACK COOKSON
Influenced by roots music from both sides of the Atlantic, Jack Cookson is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Nominee.
