After a superb show in Scarborough in November, delighted to welcome The Coal Porters back to North Yorkshire for Filey Americana.
The Coal Porters are an exciting and dynamic bluegrass combo with a DYNAMITE LIVE ACT featuring;
Kerenza Peacock - fine fiddle and vocals;
Paul Fitzgerald - banjo and vocals;
Sid Griffin - vocals, mandolin, harmonica and autoharp;
Andrew Stafford - bass;
Neil Robert Herd - guitar and vocals.
The Coal Porters claim to be the world's first 'alt-bluegrass' act, demonstrating the power of fiddle, mandolin, banjo, acoustic guitar and doghouse bass when matched with four-part harmonies and memorable melodies.
They have taken this sound around the world being featured on NPR's Morning Edition in the USA and having recorded a live session for Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2.
The Coal Porters
The Coal Porters specialise in the songs of Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons as well as traditional bluegrass numbers and the show is purely acoustic bluegrass/alt. country. Terrific harmonies and superlative fingerpickin'! Features ex-Long Rider Sid Griffin on Bill Monroe-styled mandolin. "Swift yet surefooted, banjos, mandolins and fiddles gallop along...while harmonies glow like, well, coals. Brilliant." **** Q magazine.
