The Jamboree Collective

The Jamboree is something of an institution in East London, spearheading a minor folk revolution and we're excited about linking up with them to bring you some of their finest performers! Some you'll no doubt be familiar with (fiddle Ali Caplin, Adam Beattie of the Bonfire Band) and some that will be fresh to your discerning ears (Brooke Sharkey, Garance Louis).

Expect the unexpected as we play host to this talented bunch as musicians in residence for the weekend - they'll be popping up at all hours! From French candlelit swooning to stomping folk reels, between them they have all the bases covered. 

Then who knows, they might invite us down to London next time...

Ivan Drever + Support

Having hosted his son Kris (LAU) already, we're proud to welcome ex-Wolfstone member Ivan to the Old Bridge Inn. With a rich career in music and extensive back catalogue of songs to choose from, this should be a wonderful evening.

Blue Rose Code

We first heard the enchanting music of BRC a couple of years ago and have been trying to bring them to the Old Bridge Inn ever since. Imagine our delight as we can finally confirm a show. Go on, try. Spellbinding celtic-tinged acoustic ballads, delicate yet gravelly vocals - you're going to love it. Promise.

Easter Sunday, 8th April, 9pm, Free

The Little Kicks + CS Buchan

Big Easter Sunday party with one of the finest emerging indie bands in the country, The Little Kicks play an exceedingly tight blend of guitar driven rock n roll that is cliche-free, laden with hooks and is unafraid of the odd pop chorus. Support comes from fellow Aberdeen lad CS Buchan who leans more to the folky side of indie, with a King Creosote-esque blend of clever songwriting and beautiful melodies.

Wednesday 18th April, 8pm, £14

Frightened Rabbit

Our biggest night to date, as these Scottish rock behemoths break free of their city shackles and take to the open road where the air is cleaner, the crowds are friendlier, the grub is more wholesome and the ale is real. Let's show them how we do it, Highland style! 

Tickets available at www.thebooth.co.uk (but probably not for long!)

Saturday 28th April, 9.30pm, Free.

Shoogle(!) presents: The Horndog Brass Band.

Heavy heavy brass grooves with funk, ska and jazz influences, it's what Shoogle(!) is aw aboot!
