Stafford's banjo maestro Dan Walsh returns to his old hometown to play what's become an annual gig with old friends and local legends Fish From Oblivion as support and expect some collaborations too! Dan is currently recording a brand new album so this is a chance to hear the new material ahead of the release!
BBC Folk Awards Best Musician nominee Dan Walsh 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.
Fish From Oblivion are Stafford’s a cappella folk choir, and have been swimming the oceans of song together since Dan was a mere sprat. They sing songs of social justice from across the world and down the centuries. They’ll be joining Dan for a few songs together, and providing a supporting set of their own.
