For over a decade the unstoppable Black Friday have been delivering their stomping, high energy home-brew of folk punk music across the south west and beyond. Hailing the Cornish village of St Germans, Black Friday began their journey in their local pub in 2006. Their music has taken them across the seas to Ireland and Europe gathering adventures and stories along the way. Influenced by their Irish and Cornish roots and their folk heroes, their catchy original songs and their take on folk favourites by the likes of Flogging Molly and The Pogues will keep you dancing all night.
The band performs well over a hundred and fifty gigs a year and they have racked up an impressive list of festivals, including Glastonbury, Mad Hatters Wonderland Festival in France, the ‘Jolly Roger’ Pirate ship stage at Boomtown Fair and Boardmasters.
