MATT OWENS + RADIO KING

It is always a huge pleasure to be able to welcome back Matt and band to Swindon. Matt and the gang constantly slay it at any gig we put them on so are getting quite the reputation in these parts. Expect this to be a busy one!

First coming to prominence with indie-folksters Noah and the Whale, Matt has since been a much sought-after writer and session player. But since the release of his debut solo album, Whiskey and Orchids, he has been concentrating mostly on a solo path. These days erring more towards a folky-Americana sound, his third release Beer For The Horses, saw him gather around him a incredible collective of musicians, now going by the name Radioking and embrace a more upbeat, rock-infused sound, which was perfected on album four, Way Out West.

Album five is in the works, and promises to be another classic.

Music from 8.30pm. Entry Free but bring some cash for the artists Tip-Jar.

Time: 8:30pm

The Tuppenny 

BILLY IN THE LOWGROUND 

Comparisons have often been made with the Waterboys and the Levellers, but there’s a distinctive tone to Billy in the Lowground that’s all their own, and they’ve resisted being slotted neatly into a pigeonhole from day one.

Suffice to say, they’re a 6-piece West Country Rock band with a distinct Irish influence courtesy of fiddle player Ruth Behan, driven by a tight rhythm section, playing original songs written by Chris Hibberd.

Since forming in 1991, they’ve 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, Ashton Court, Village Pump, Bearded Theory, Summer Breeze, Pontardawe International Folk, Larmer Tree, Off the Tracks, Lechlade, Landed, Farmfest, Watchet, Godney Gathering…

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 and Transglobal Underground
