Event Information
Super-Deluxe Fiddle, Banjo, and Song!
Through twenty years and a couple of thousand shows together in bands such as The Foggy Hogtown Boys and The Lonesome Ace Stringband, John Showman and Chris Coole have developed a deep and instinctual musical bond. Their music lurks in a truly unique space that is somewhere on the outskirts of old-time, bluegrass, and folk. The songs of John Hartford, Hank Williams, Dock Boggs, and The Band share space with the fiddle tunes of Eck Robertson and Ed Haley. The duo’s original songs and tunes take in all these vistas and paint something both personal and timely.
They have performed across North America and Europe at festivals such as Merlefest, Rockygrass, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Mariposa, Wintergrass, Gooikroots, and The John Hartford Memorial Festival. In 2022, the duo released two albums; “ Afield” a collection of old-time fiddle tunes, and “Much Further Out than Inevitable – A Tribute to Some Music of John Hartford.”
Three ticket prices - We're committed to bringing high quality roots music to Cambridge at affordable prices , and as such our standard advance ticket price is £10. However, if you'd like to see the artist take home a little more (over 80% of our ticket profit goes to artists), then there is now an option to pay slightly more (£12) if you are able to. There are also a very limited number of no-questions-asked concession tickets (£8).
If tickets remain then they will be sold on-the-door, but at a higher price.
