Appaloosas

 

From way out in the Wild West – of Dartmoor – come Appaloosas, with a mix of Old-Time and Appalachian, the music that became American music. Rooted in songs and tunes carried by settlers from the British Isles, they provided familiar musical home comforts for generations of emigrants.

Featuring Eliza Acty on voice and guitar, Peter Acty on banjo and guitar, plus Stephen Potter on fiddle. Join this great trio as they showcase tracks from their brand new album.

Chatty atmosphere, free entry, donations to the band would be very welcome.

Doors open 7.30pm, music from around 8.30pm.
