We are exciting to be hosting The Time Bandits for our first Neston Folk & Roots Club Ceilidh.
Formed in 2001, the Time Bandits are a Chester-based folk band who are equally at home playing concerts and for dances. Influenced by artists such as the Albion Band, Blowzabella and Steeleye Span our repertoire mixes Renaissance and early dance music with traditional and contemporary songs and tunes played on a variety of instruments including fiddle, border bagpipes, saxophone, recorders, melodeon, bouzouki and electric bass. The band have recorded a total of six albums to date. The most recent, Stolen Histories, was released in May 2022.
Why the name the Time Bandits? The band chose its name from the Terry Gilliam ‘Pythonesque’ movie of the same title. Similar to the spirit of the movie, the remit of the band is, in essence, to be musical ‘time travellers’ raiding and pilfering over 500 years of musical material to be brought back and performed in an updated setting for a modern audience.
Central to the band’s philosophy is that their music is not for the museum. Whether first played 500 hundred years ago, or perhaps a mere hundred years ago, this is living music that should be played and enjoyed with a passion.
The venue has a great dance floor with ample space for the occasional rest, a well stocked and even better priced bar to keep you refreshed.
Tickets are on sale online now at £9 (With a 4 for 3 group offer). Tickets will be available on the night at £10 per person
So if you love great quality music and a good dance th I'mis is the night for you.
