Event information
Crossing the country from Cornwall to Cumbria to universal acclaim in more than 200 village halls, Hank Wangford now has a new saddle pal in the shape of Brad Breath (aka Andy Roberts) and is offering Part Two of “No Hall 2 Small”…
Hank and Brad offer an evening of stories from the highway of life and a clutch of original heartbreakers, toetappers and gems culled from the dark underbelly of Country… Laughter and pain are both sides of the same tear stained coin. Dolly Parton said that Country Music “is 3 chords and the truth”. With Hank and Brad it’s sometimes only two!
Hank Wangford godfather of British Country music over 3 decades was indoctrinated by Gram Parsons in 1970. He has lassoed the hearts and minds of his public in songs, TV series and books the latest of which, “No Hall Too Small” will be a celebration of Hank’s rural touring.
His new compadre is yodelling Brad Breath celebrated for his classic Glimpses of Gloom and his mastery of the guitar, mandolin and dulcimer. As Andy Roberts, Brad has played with The Scaffold, Bonzo Dog, Plainsong, Billy Connolly, Pink Floyd, Rolf Harris and many others.
Many of the songs will be from Hank’s most recent albums “Best Foot Forward” and “Whistling In The Dark”
“An emotional rollercoaster ride. From honkytonkin’ heartbroken songs of 1950s and ‘60s rural America via the 1984 British miner’s strike, right up to the present day. Beautifully crafted original songs full of class, wit and poignant observations. We laughed and cried – sometimes at the same time – it’s a privilege to be present on nights like these.” Mike Leigh
“A must see and must hear for any fan of Country music and if you’re not a fan you’ll soon convert. The music is beautiful, the stories funny and they have great taste in cowboy gear.” Carn to Cove, Cornwall
