AMANDA ANNE PLATT has been writing and performing her original songs in front of live audiences for almost two decades. With her band The Honeycutters she has released nine albums of her own original material and toured extensively in the US as well as Europe and Canada.

THE RAGGED OUT STRING BAND play an infectious and energetic take on Old-Time Appalachian Folk Music and Bluegrass. Expect fiery fiddle tunes and songs backed up by a driving rhythm section of guitar and banjo. The band are Emily Smith (fiddle), Joe Auckland (banjo) and Andy Quelch (guitar).

Growing out of the fertile Norwich folk and bluegrass scene, Clark & Zuppardi brings together two of Norfolk’s most versatile musicians around a shared love of Bluegrass and American roots music.

Sid Griffin is supporting his first solo album in a decade. He is best known as leader of both Americana founders the Long Ryders as well as ‘Alt-bluegrass’ originators the Coal Porters.

London-based five-piece return to perform their brand of British folk music, Americana and bluegrass. Guitar, double bass, break-neck fiddle and sorrowful harmonies abound.

No further information available at time of listing.

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).

Top-class playing on guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin and dobro blended with fabulous close harmonies. Charlotte and Laura play mainly bluegrass and old-time American music to international acclaim.

Folk-bluegrass musical ensemble The Dead South will be performing live at Eventim Apollo in March 2025.
