Rye
|
Rye return to play an eclectic mix of numbers in their own Celtic folk rock style: from traditional Irish music to well-known covers.
Martin and Di move between instruments - electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, whistles, flute and percussion - and their arrangements are backed by recorded tracks that they create at home. Guaranteed to get your feet tapping and your hands clapping, and to put a smile on your face. So, find a bale of straw, get a drink, sing along, dance a jig and have some fun. |
Chocolate Teapot
|
Chocolate Teapot is two functioning alcoholics with delusions of adequacy. Equipped with guitars and microphones, they're even worse. Featuring inter-song banter, a range of standards from long ago (plus one or two more modern songs) and harmony vocals, often in the same key. Be sure to miss their set! I mean, NOT to miss their set. Definitely. At least catch them early on before they've had too many beers!
