Event information

Mudskippers are an acoustic-ish trio from the Exe Estuary and Exeter area of Devon, England. Known to compose beautifully rich songs influenced by many of the modern English folk legends as well as indie, progressive folk/rock, punk, pop and world music.

Described as \"warm, wonderful, thoughtful music\" and \"a band you would really enjoy listening to at a festival with a beer\", Mudskipper\'s absorbing compositions will take you through a dynamic musical journey.

In their softer numbers, the unusual but perfect combination of Clarinet and Cello provide a backdrop of beautiful harmonies that weave through Bully\'s ethereal singing. Likened to Nick Drake, their influences of contemporary/progressive folk come through strongly.

Indie pop, punk and progressive rock influences often entail a switch to Saxophone, Accordion or Penny Whistle, percussive Cello chops, strummed Guitar and emotional vocal explosion for more lively songs that will get your foot tapping.

Appearances at various venues and festivals in and around Exeter, coupled with local radio play and interviews have seen them building a reputation as one of South West England\'s acoustic acts to watch. The band released their debut album Replacing the Stone in December 2015.

Mudskippers\' influences are varied enough that it is impossible to pigeonhole their music.
Folk, indie, pop progressive rock, punk... the sound is very much their own.
Their album \"Replacing the Stone\" is an enthralling debut, with so many layers you discover something new on every listen. (FATEA magazine)

Mudskippers\' special guest will be Exeter based singer songwriter, John Gallagher.
