Events on Thursday 16th April

“Dark, unsettling and utterly magical, join world-class storyteller, Ben Haggarty, as he slips behind the lights into the dark side of the fairground, where you risk getting more than you bargained for.”
From: Fairytales for Grown-ups - MR SANDMANN

“"As many of you have already heard, we are having to cancel our appearance at Ripple Fest Cologne due to the travel restrictions and quarantines. Many of you did not know that there were more European tour dates planned around this event that we will also have to postpone."”
From: Howling Giant // Sgt. T'hoof // + More

“Two Day Coma’s foundation started with childhood friends Tom Harris and Jake Scarborough. When Tom’s stark, honest songwriting style met Jake’s knack for DIY recording the pair began making bedroom demos that aimed higher than their makeshift studio. When the two met multi-instrumentalist Ollie Lucas and drummer Zac Harkavy the band was complete. Taking influence everywhere from britpop and indie to post-punk and folk, the Bristol based four-piece have managed to find an emotive sound that is truly original.”
From: Two Day Coma + guests at The Crofters Rights

“Rock veteran John Otway dubbed himself “rock’n’roll’s greatest failure” after many unsuccessful attempts to produce a second hit single to follow his 1977 classic (Cor Baby, That’s) Really Free with Wild Willy Barrett.”
From: John Otway

“Folk band Faustus are known for captivating audiences with their sheer room-shaking power, vocal precision and instrumental mastery. Put simply, the band has complete command on stage and in the studio.”
From: Faustus at The Hen & Chicken
