Billy in the Lowground @ The Sisters

We've not been to Gloucester in a long while, and when our guitarist popped in here a while back to check it out, it felt very much like our sort of place! A great new venue for Gloucester and we're very much looking forward to it!
For the uninitiated amongst you:
Billy in the Lowground are a 6-piece West Country Rock band with a distinct Irish influence, courtesy of fiddle player (and member of a rather well-known Irish family) Ruth Behan, driven by a tight rhythm section, playing original songs in a Country-Rock/Folk style, all written by Chris Hibberd.
Formed in 1991, Billy in the Lowground have played many hundreds of gigs in venues small and large all over the UK, as well as more festivals than you can shake a stick at, including Glastonbury, Boomtown, Bearded Theory, Off the Tracks, Landed, Farmfest, Watchet, Godney Gathering…
Comparisons are often made with the Waterboys and the Levellers, but there’s a distinctive tone to the band that’s all their own, and they’ve resisted being slotted neatly into a pigeonhole from day one.
They’ve also supported a wide selection of well-known acts including John Otway, Shane McGowan & the Popes, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Waterson & Carthy, Oysterband, Rory McCleod, the Wurzels, Fairport Convention, Wishbone Ash, Transglobal Underground, and most recently the Blockheads.
