Halloween Hoedown with Old Baby Mackerel
A gig on Friday 31st October. The event starts at 20:00.
Get your best hillbilly halloween costumes on and head down to The Greenbank in Easton for some bluegrass classics, niche tracks and originals by one of the UK's best and silliest bluegrass acts, Old Baby Mackerel.
Old Baby Mackerel, represented by Strada International in the UK and Rootstown Bookings in Europe, are a high-energy bluegrass act that are making waves on the international bluegrass scene. They were recently featured on BBC 6 Music, in The British Bluegrass News and completed a run of sold-out shows at venues across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. They have played main stage slots at UK festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown, Shambala and Latitude, as well as festivals such as Westport Bluegrass (Ireland), Willisau Bluegrass (Switzerland), Nääsville (Sweden), Pflasterspektakel (Austria) and Jai Thep (Thailand).
Their music uses banjo, mandolin, guitar and double bass to get knees bouncing and elbows swinging to the sweet harmonies, blistering solos and driving rhythm of the authentic Bluegrass sound. Be prepared to be transported back in time and space to early 20th century North America where songs dramatised the small town fascination with locomotion, love, violence and the veneration of bootleg liquor.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult over 21yrs, 1:1 ratio)
