All London's live music


Americana, Bluegrass

THE COAL PORTERS

Leytonstone Ex-Servicemens Club, E11 3DB , [Venue Details]

THE COAL PORTERS were regulars on the Americana and Bluegrass circuit for 17 years before hanging up their instruments within moments of England’s defeat by Croatia in the semi-final of the 2018 World Cup (true, though possibly unrelated).

Led by Sid Griffin (The Long Ryders) and featuring on fiddle Grammy winner and Adele string section leader Kerenza Peacock they reunited briefly in 2022 and again now for five nights only in 2024. Their sound has featured on NPR's Morning Edition in the USA, live sessions for Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 and Marc Riley for Radio 6 Music, and appearances at Glastonbury, SXSW and MerleFest. What’s Cookin' favourite Neil Bob Herd does the heavy lifting on guitar and vocals, and we don’t remember what the other two are called.

“Not your average fish & chips bluegrass, the Coal Porters have expanded their music with broad strokes and fearless execution” CHRIS HILLMAN

“The Coal Porters whisk together a hugely listenable cocktail of bluegrass, folk and country” UNCUT
