OLD BABY MACKEREL

Old Baby Mackerel play high-energy, foot-stomping Bluegrass, featuring a dizzying line-up of renowned UK Bluegrass musicians. Their music uses the rhythmic sounds of banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle and double bass to get knees bouncing and elbows swinging to the virtuosic sound of blistering solos and tasteful harmonies.

Be prepared to be transported back in time to the early 20th century and across the Atlantic to North America, where songs dramatised the small-town fascination with locomotion, religion, and the veneration of whisky and bootleg liquor.

Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
