BILLY IN THE LOW GROUND
A 6-piece all-original Rock band with Folk instruments, which apparently confuses the hell out of people trying to fit them neatly into a genre... they’re often shoe-horned into the pigeonhole of ‘Folk Rock’, but the sound is continuously evolving, incorporating elements of Americana, Rock, and Country. Their songs are all written by singer Chris Hibberd, who started the band (then called the Brew Band) back in 1991 with other founder member Ruth Behan on fiddle.
Comparisons are sometimes made with the Waterboys, Pogues and Levellers, but there’s a distinctive and authentic tone to the band that’s all their own.
They’ve played hundreds of gigs in pubs, clubs, and venues large and small all over the UK since they formed in 1991, as well as becoming veterans of the summer festival circuit, appearing at, amongst many others: Glastonbury, Ashton Court, Bearded Theory, Farmfestival, Off The Tracks, Sunrise Celebration, OUT West, Home Farm Festival, Lechlade Festival, Village Pump Folk Festival, Landed Festival, Watchet Festival, Godney Gathering…
They’ve supported many well-known acts on tour, including The Men They Couldn’t Hang, John Otway, Norma Waterson & Martin Carthy, Oysterband, Rory McCleod, Fairport Convention, Transglobal Underground and Wishbone Ash.
