Against the Grain at The Queens Head October 27th

Exponents of World Music, Against the Grain actually hail from Derbyshire and Bucks.

Guitarist Matt Sullivan and percussionist Jo May perform everything from jazz tunes to original material with roots in West African, South American and Spanish traditions. Playing a variety of instruments including balafon, cajon, flamenco guitar and of course spoons, they lend a new meaning to the concept of folk roots, new routes.

Veterans of the festival circuit, including main stage appearances at Towersey and Sidmouth, their stage performance is polished and dynamic. Just the thing to bring a breath of tropical air and perhaps a little sunshine to a dark autumn evening.

Tickets are £6 and are available at the venue or contact mjones572@hotmail.co.uk.

Doors at 8:00 pm
