Drawing heavily from the rolling landscapes, that once graced the footsteps and literary musings of DH Lawrence. The sound is an earthy, infectious, foot stomping vibe with fiddle, accordion & raw guitar. You'll get folklore laced tales full of fire and brimstone, death, demon drink, preacher men and troubled souls. The self-penned songs are brought alive with raggedy sing along choruses, that will stay with you, like good friends. 18:00 – 19:30 – Oli Orton – Mod, new wave, indie and punk hits.
