Hatful Of Rain

Lively, fresh and rootsy bluegrass, folk and old-time music will be delivered in typical Americana style by this four-piece band from Sussex. In addition to their sparkling playing and singing, their shows are a visual treat, too, as they perform around a single microphone, stepping forward to sing or take a solo, adding extra dynamism - and intricate teamwork.

The quartet are Chloe Overton on vocals, guitar and mandolin; Phil Jones on double bass, banjo and vocals; James Shenton on fiddle; and Fred Gregory on guitar, mandolin and vocals. With songs ranging from the energetic to what Bob Harris has called the "hauntingly beautiful", an evening of dramatic contrasts is promised.
