- Mark Radcliffe
Serious Sam Barrett is a hard touring, folk and country singer/songwriter from Otley, West Yorkshire. Playing honest, heartfelt self penned and traditional songs on 12 string guitar and banjo.
David Broad's playing is seeped in the tradition of American folk and blues guitar, from the rags of Blind Blake and Reverend Gary Davis, to the delta blues of Robert Johnson and Charley Patton. He is also an accomplished harmonica player in the country blues tradition of Sonny Boy Williamson I and Sonny Terry.
Lewis Pugh is from Leeds influenced by everything from bluegrass and country through to skiffle and punk. Brought up on bluegrass and folk music, he plays traditional music and his own songs. He also plays with The Burner Band.
“Songs that rattle with the ghosts of Appalachian folk, and southern blues, yet sound emphatically English” - UNCUT
“Old before his years country-folk fellow who mixes intricate John Fahey finger-picking with confessional tales of dirty old Leeds” - The Guardian
There'll be a raffle.
Accessibility: The pub has step free access, however the gig is held upstairs, there isn't a lift so this invovles climbing a flight of stairs.
