Gigs at the Ropemakers this December www.theropemakers.com
Thursday 22nd – Skimmity Hitchers – 9:15pm -Special for Christmas Eve Eve Eve. Bring your wives, girlfriends and kazoos. Denizens of Dorset, Weirdos of the West Country, for your delight and delectation, here are the Skimmity Hitchers… A band of brothers, blaggers and badgers, they loaded up their Skimmity wagon in the spring of 2010 and took to the road. They now roam the B-roads and back alleys of the West Country, playing old-fashioned Scrumpy & Western live music with a modern edge.
In pubs, festivals, weddings, parties and cider sheds you will find us singing our songs, with a smile on our face and a wink in our eye… Everyone is welcome to join the Skimmity Hitchers party, to dance and laugh and sing along. But be prepared for much sauciness, banter and barracking too, for tis all part of the show… Some call it folk. Some call it punk. Others call it cabaret. Some simply call us a bunch of cidered-up chancers. They are all of this and more, come and see for yourselves to be sure… Have a badger
Friday 23rd – Pronghorn – 9:15pom – The countdown to the big holiday continues with Pronghorn performing on Christmas Eve Eve. The UK’s leading exponent of cowpunk, we are promising a big night of pure shenannigans (or however its meant to be spelt). Here is a sampler
No bands until 7th January when we have King Tuts Revenge lined up. In the mean time, Happy New Year.
