Americana & Bluegrass Band
The Americana and Bluegrass Band are a collection of talented musicians specialising in old-time music.
Having played at many great festival stages, bars and cafes, they play a heady brew of Irish and American folk music performed with a distinctly English style, which has established them as one of the most entertaining groups working in the UK right now.
Influenced by classic artists such as Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers, they bring their own modern sound to each song. Their hard driving instruments and vocal harmonies also evoking the golden age of bluegrass.

" I just wanted to write to say thank you so very much for your wonderful performance on Friday! I’m sure you were aware just how much our members enjoyed themselves. The question “can you get them back?” was repeated to me countless times and I promised I would pass on the members appreciation. "

" You guys were fantastic. I think every single person I spoke to last night commented on how great you guys were. I think the proof was in the completely full dance floor the entire evening..! "

" …..some mighty fine bluegrass music from local group The Thumping Tommys. Hang around until the end and you might even be lucky enough to catch one of their impromptu jam sessions on the tube home. "
