Description
Arthur Coates & Kerran Cotterell are a two-man trad tornado tearing through the
folk world with foot percussion, fiddle, guitar, vocals, and groove to spare.
Musically, they straddle tradition and mischief, with one foot in the folk archive and
the other slipping into a psychedelic sock.
Arthur, a fiddler raised in Aberdeenshire, builds rolling, riff-heavy tunes rooted in
Scottish tradition. Kerran, a melodic schemer from Cumbria, draws on pop and
choral training to weave in crisp harmonies and satisfying twists. Expect trad
turned sideways, storytelling with a twist, and just enough mischief to keep things
interesting.
As Folkworld put it, their sound is “powerful and dark, fresh and fun”

The Poppy and Pint stands as a vital community asset on Pierrepont Road, West Bridgford, a testament to its evolution from a former British Legion club into a thriving local hub. It serves not merely as a commercial establishment but as a focal point for Lady Bay, offering a consistent space for connection and shared experience.
Within its walls, a welcoming atmosphere prevails, where the subtle aroma of locally roasted coffee often mingles with the murmur of conversation. The main bar area, with its comfortable seating and thoughtful lighting, provides a relaxed setting, while a dedicated family space ensures comfort for all ages.
Practicality meets pleasure with a well-appointed beer garden that offers views over the adjacent bowling green and tennis courts. The venue boasts excellent accessibility and a comprehensive drinks selection, featuring an extensive array of local and national ales, traditional ciders, and a curated list of wines and spirits.
Beyond daily service, the Poppy and Pint hosts a diverse calendar of events. From regular folk and jazz club evenings to various community groups, exercise classes, and parent-and-baby sessions, it provides a dynamic programme that caters to a broad spectrum of local interests.
