Description

Stafford's own banjo maestro returns for a home town gig as part of a first solo UK tour in three years, to promote the release of a new live album. Dan is a BBC Folk Award nominee and combines 'virtuoso playing and winning songwriting' (MORNING STAR). Describing what Dan does is no easy task but at the heart of it is British, Irish and American folk music delivered with a healthy dose of funky grooves all performed with his unique and dazzling take on clawhammer style banjo helping to challenge all preconceptions about the instrument. Add to all that poignant songs, astonishing musical departures and lively humour and the result is a truly memorable live show which has wowed audiences across the world from intimate seated rooms to huge dancing crowds in festival fields.

Supporting are local a Capella group Fish From Oblivion. FFO have been singing together around Staffordshire for the last 23 years, bringing their own mixture of self-penned songs and pieces fished from song traditions around the world and across the ages.

Dan and Fish will combine for a short set at the end of the evening.
