Event Details
Formed in 2009, Hatful of Rain have attracted an affectionate following with their fusion of folk and Americana sounds. Known for their emotive storytelling, warm performances and great harmonies – not to mention their own unique genre – “melonjolly” (cheerful tunes with miserable lyrical content), the band has been praised for their ability to blend traditional forms of old time and bluegrass music to their own ends. Their previous albums Way Up on the Hill, The Morning Key and Songs of the Lost and Found garnered critical acclaim, sessions with Bob Harris and many plays by Mike Harding and Mark Ratcliffe on the Radio 2 Folk Shows.
For this show the band play a two part set – the first playing acoustic instruments whilst weaving around a single microphone and the second a rockier proposition. The night will open with a set by Hatful vocalist Chloe Overton and banjo player and singer Laura Hockenhull. You are advised to get there for all of it!
From approx 11.00 onwards (when the headliners finish) Scott Smith’s Shellac Show will be playing from his collection of 78s, on mic’d gramophones, DJIng as you’ve never seen before. Expect the best blues, country, rock and roll and gospel from the vault.
