Event information

Leatherat + True Deceivers + The Gold Rush

Leatherat are five musicians dedicated to playing original folk-rock music loud, fast and to the highest standard. Leatherat's live show captures the excitement of a rock gig combined with the influences of traditional and original folk tunes. Their show has a high level of energy that is instantly communicated to their audience spanning all generations, from teenagers, to hardcore rockers, punks and nostalgic folkies! With a stage presence to challenge any contemporary band their carefully crafted songs combine with their own sheer enjoyment of the music to fuel their powerful performance.

The True Deceivers were formed in 2003 from the ashes, as it were, of The Blazing Homesteads. Their influences range from Steve Earle to Bob Dylan, The Waterboys and Tom Petty.

On the live scene The True Deceivers have taken their powerful set to places such as Guilfest, Weyfest, Bearded Theory Festival, Blissfields, The Peterborough Festival and The International Welsh Motorcycle Show as well as building a large and loyal following in their local Surrey area.

THE GOLDRUSH is an acoustic trio based in the leafy town of Guildford, south of London, England. Their mission is to champion the early musical work of those who inspired them - namely David Crosby, Steven Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young. Current live shows by THE GOLDRUSH focus on the West Coast vibe of the early 70's, and the trio manage to bring the soaring three-part
harmonies and pure acoustic CSN sound from the cool heady days of California's Laurel Canyon to the receptive ears of new modern audiences.
