Threepenny Bit

Join Threepenny Bit for a Halloween-themed night of ceilidh dancing. Fancy dress optional but strongly encouraged!

Threepenny Bit are a unique example of how traditional dance tunes and contemporary sounds can blend together into a totally fresh interpretation of folk music. This raucous 8-piece band combines a group of die-hard folkies with some of the finest young jazz and classical musicians in the south to create an exciting live show you will not forget!

After founding and running the Southampton University Folk Society in 2011, they formed a busking band to take folk music to the streets for a sumer holiday. Three years, two albums and a host of successful concert, ceilidh, folk club and festival performances later the band are still going strong! 2013 sat the self-release of their second album 'Cartography' which recieved great reviews and was nominated for the FATEA awards instumental album of the year.
