Event information

Formed in 2007, the eight piece Holloway Jug Band are a ball of raucous old-time energy, filtering 1920\'s/30\'s jug band classics and original songs through Irish, country, punk and folk. Citing influences from Gus Canon\'s Jug Stompers and the Memphis Jug Band to the Carolina Chocolate Drops and Old Crow Medicine Show, they\'ve become favourites on the Summer festival circuit, playing regularly at The Green Man, headlining last year at the Wilderness festival in Oxfordshire and headling the 2010 Livestock in Oxfordshire.

The Cedars combine foot-stomping Folk-Americana with dark, foreboding blues and the occasional heart-stopping ballad to produce heady, intoxicating music. They have built both a formidable live set and an enthusiastic following and are highly respected amongst their peers on the alt.folk and Americana scenes. The Cedars have played a huge variety of shows and festivals including Glastonbury, Reading, Secret Garden Party, Trowbridge, Wilderness, The Great Escape, Camp Bestival, Cropredy, Truck and live on BBC Radio 4.
