Event information
The Salts are a co-operative of seasoned musicians, creating what is fast becoming
one of the most exciting and energetic folk concepts of recent times. With their own unique sound that mixes well written original compositions alongside classic traditional tunes, it's a guaranteed blast. You could say that 21st century folk fires a respectful broadside at the traditional.
The Salts perform shanties but not quite in the way you might expect. They are five seasoned musicians with a remarkable list of credits to their names from Pete Best via Thunderclap Newman to Ben E King. Now based in the leafy suburbs of Surrey and Berkshire, Brave is their second album. All five sing and harmonise naturally but that’s not how they perform – essentially they are an amplified acoustic band with a drummer but there is even more to them.
Their debut album ‘She Rises’, their second album 'BRAVE' and the latest 'LIVE IN LONDON TOWN’ are receiving rave reviews across the board.
“The Salts - they were just outstandingly brilliant”
Tim Walker BBC (Costa del Folk 2022).
“Incredibly gutsy stuff with a big sound”
Mike Harding, (The Mike Harding Folk Show)
Support is from Barton Hartshorn.
Doors and bar 7.00pm, music 7.15pm
