| Saturday 13 February 8pm THE COAL PORTERS Penny Black Remedy Formed nineteen years ago in Los Angeles the Coal Porters were originally an electric rock group centred around native Kentuckian Sid Griffin, the ex-Long Ryder who wrote the hit single “Looking For Lewis And Clark”. Exchanging a home in Los Angeles for one in London in February 1992 Griffin’s original Coal Porters enjoyed indie chart success in Europe and toured frequently. The Coal Porters then became the world’s first “alt-bluegrass” act and the UK’s most entertaining bluegrass ensemble, one firmly established on the European touring circuits. They are performing USA dates in March 2010 including the South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. The Coal Porters live show is polished yet passionate and second to none, having earned them the monicker “the bluegrass Clash”. Check the Coal Porters out if you dig quick pickin’, warm harmony vocals, contemporary themed original songs and the wittiest stage announcements this side of The Comedy Store. http://www.myspace.com/thecoalporters Tickets £7.00 Click here to buy tickets from Ticketweb Please click here for venue details. |
