The Garibaldi Matinee APPEAL

A Message From Liane Carroll

The Garibaldi Matinee needs your help! We seems to have fallen on some rocky economic ground, with the Saturday & Sunday afternoon gigs struggling to balance the books. A combination of rising running costs and an ongoing cost-of-living crisis is making it increasingly challenging for us, and we are forced to seek additional funding in order to keep the matinee afloat. (Read More)

Mudlands String Band

FREE ENTRY

(£5 PER TICKET        PRIZE: £30 BAR TAB)
PLEASE SUPPORT THE EVENT - BUY A RAFFLE TICKET

Grown in the swamps of the Midlands, this ragged troupe twang banjos, saw fiddles, and squeeze boxes belt out harmonies to keep the old tunes alive.

The Mudlands String Band deal mostly in Bluegrass & Cajun. But don’t expect anything fancy; these guys might have read a song in a dusty book, or learnt it from an old friend, or just heard it in a movie. And in true folk tradition, they’ll pass it on, mangled over the centuries, but with the spirit intact.

They make a good racket for sure, so be prepared for a rowdy affair, with plenty of good time raillery and joviality. You might even feel inclined to a spot of dancing.

He became a fixture in the buzzing London scene, playing double bass or guitar with some of the finest blues guys around - Big Joe Louis and His Blues Kings, King David Purdy, Jeremiah Marquez, Gordon Smith and Little George Sueref. He formed Dexter Shaw & the Wolf Tones in the late '90's
