Cut A Shine Valentine's Ball + Hoedown CD!

Event information

Buy this ticket and on arrival at the show, you will be furnished with a copy of our brand spanking new 3 CD box set compilation of the most banging Hoedown Tunes and Dances!

The album has been received very well so far in the press: Q, MoJo, Standard, Independent etc all giving rave reviews , and most importantly, we're very proud of it ourselves.

It includes 3 CDs. The first being archival material from the dawn of recorded music, the real mountain stuff. CD 2 features music from the 1950s-1980s , the birth of Bluegrass. The last CD features the current wave of fantastic artists carrying on in the hoedown spirit from the USA and UK.

below is the blurb for the gig:

We're at it again, hosting another rip-roaring barn dance at St-John-at-Hackney for Valentine's Day. Forget about having a partner or not, here everyone gets to dance with a partner! Doe-Si-Doh! For those looking for something a little extra, our cut a shine crew will be running barn dating antics, pranks and hijinks helping to break the ice that little bit more.

In support, a performance from the Mediaeval Babes, Hackney's own internationally renowned voluptuous songstresses of stunning harmony.

Our bar will be stocked with only the finest artisan ale and farm house cider and scrumpy (hot or not) to warm the winter cockles

Sound Reinforcement comes from a full Funktion1 sound system, ensuring all church like echoes are dealt with. We've got a later license than usual to ensure that the dancing continues into the night with our hoedown DJs keeping everyone on their feet. More bands to be added to line up soon too.... it's a winner.

We once again thank St-John-at-Hackney for providing the space for a dance. Half the proceeds from the event go to the church, so it may continue it's work in the local community.
