Pilgrims' Way
Support: Smokey JoeTickets £10 from The Globe or www.wegottickets.com
Pilgrims' Way - Off the wall, colourful, energetic. With influences starting in early
music, passing through Playford and the Morris traditions, picking up
prog, soul, and pop, it's impossible to categorise the sound they make
as folk music is fed through their unique steam driven sound-mincing
engine.
Formed by default under a Stockport
pub table in early 2010 by Ed, Tom, and past member, Lucy Wright,
Pilgrims' Way has grown to incorporate a dazzling array of
instrumentation and millinery. With the extraordinarily omni-skilled
musician Jon Loomes (22 instruments played on Red Diesel!), and
champion Renaissance woodwind parper and oboe wrangler Jude Rees
joining along the way, the prospect of an early night is slim.
Reviews
"The Handweaver and the Factory Maid is one of my favourite tracks of the last 12 months!"
"Pilgrims' Way are the real deal. I am genuinely
impressed by their understanding and feel for the music - a young band I
expect to hear great things from in the future." Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
Reviews for Red Diesel:
"A treat of an album. 5 stars" The Telegraph
"An album that is likely to exceed the heights reached by its predecessor. A five-star album." Folkwords
"It has to be in contention come next awards season." R2 Magazine.
