Final stop of the 2025 tour, and a first ever visit for the Coal Porters in Beccles. Sid Griffin has trod the boards here a couple of times with his solo show and absolutely loves the place - looking forward to it!"The Coal Porters whisk together a hugely listenable cocktail of bluegrass, folk and country" Uncut Magazine
THE COAL PORTERS claim to be the world’s first “alt-bluegrass” act, demonstrating the power of fiddle, mandolin, banjo, acoustic guitar and doghouse bass when matched with four-part harmonies and memorable melodies. The band have been the shining lights of the UK Americana and Bluegrass circuit for over 17 years and are reuniting for select number of dates in 2025 – including All Saints Church!
Led by AMA Award winner Sid Griffin (The Long Ryders) and featuring on fiddle Grammy winner and Adele string section leader Kerenza Peacock, they have featured on NPR's Morning Edition in the USA, live sessions for Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2, Marc Riley for Radio 6 Music, and have made appearances at Glastonbury, SXSW and MerleFest.
This is a rare chance to see a pioneering band – don’t miss it!!
"Not your average fish & chips bluegrass, the Coal Porters have expanded their music with broad strokes and fearless execution"
Chris Hillman (The Byrds/Flying Burrito Brothers)
"Great harmony singing and memorable songs that often recall a British Flying Burrito Brothers or a back porch Ronnie Lane"
Mojo Magazine
"Sid Griffin and the Coal Porters, a proper band with albums and tours and a fiddle."
The Guardian
