Event information
The Lonesome & Penniless Cowboys, probably the best band you've never seen are back. In the dark and dismal early 80's, before you were born and when Britain was still in black and white, 3 men had a vision, a dream and indeed a calling. Somehow The Thin Man, Clive Mellor and Mog decided it was their life's vocation to make people love country music. Before Alt Country, before New Country before Americana and before a million hipsters wore Johnny Cash T shirts, The Lonesome & Penniless Cowboys were formed just to let people know the truth. Hank Williams, George Jones, Gram Parsons, The Louvins etc had a body of work that any one with a heart, a soul and a hard luck story would love. Turned out the plan worked and after turning Chorllton Irish Club into a regular venue and packing it out every week the cowboys' reputation and alongside it the love of country music in the North West grew.
The Cowboys more a less called it a day in the 90's but realised that they enjoyed each other's company and the joy that came ( to them and audiences) from bashing out their unique blend of Country, Cajun and Western Swing so occasional gigs were played, often more by accident than design.
In the last decade the Cowboys have played an average of 4 gigs a year, but, as none of us are getting any younger and having narrowly missed the end of the world twice in recent times. They've decided to up the ante and play at least 6 gigs a year. We're delighted that 1 of those will be in Sheffield at WagonWheel Presents...
Also on the bill we have Sheffield's own father & son rock 'n' roll duo M&J Blues.
Doors open 7.30pm for an 8pm start. Entry on the night will be £6.
