A gig held at Mr Wolfs on Thursday 13th February. The event starts at 20:00.
Billy In the Lowground
"The poster said Folk-Rock, but anyone expecting an evening of gentle, fiddle-tinged easy-listening was rapidly disabused of that notion, as'Billy in the Lowground' grasped Folk firmly by the scruff and dragged it backwards through a Hedge of Rock. Mixed metaphors aside, what emerged was a sound akin to a cider-fuelled Grateful Dead, only tighter. Superb. "
"...The music can only be described as foot stomping greatness. The sheer energy and passion that pours from the band is matched only by their musical ability, and the songs themselves are the kind of short infectious pieces that grab you by the throat and demand that you move, without you really noticing. The twin melodies of violin and guitar swirl and twirl in and around eachother with a grace that defies the relentless stomp of the bass and drums, while the acoustic and vocals work mercilessly away at your subconscious, making sure that the material haunts you for days. "

"If the Levellers were moonshine-swigging Appalachian mountain folk instead of Guinness-swilling Brighton crusties, they would probably have sounded a lot like this. "
- Green Man
The Redhillbillies
Using a collection of traditional, country, 50s and more recent tunes the Redhillbillies create warm nostalgic, foot tapping, partner swinging and sunshine smile on your face music. Staying true to what they do best which is having a whole lot of fun! They have insurgent Rhythms, heartbeat stops and five part harmonies and a democratic attitude which allows all in the band to take lead vocals. Most importantly a band chemistry that is unshakeable.
