| About The Artists |
 The HonkabilliesWebsite It's always a great thrill for us when The Honkabillies return to play their 1950's groove at the Country Soul. The Honkabillies are a four piece band who mix up Honky Tonk and Rockabilly in the style of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Dale Watson and early Elvis. Fronted by Mr Frankie Riedel their music is vibrant and upbeat and this fantastically gifted outfit know how to enjoy themselves and of course entertain their audience. Come and see Frankie (singing & guitar), Frankie Jr (guitar), Claire (drums) & Sam (bass) do what they do.....simply put an essential outfit. |
 Paul HandysideWebsite Paul Handyside We are delighted that folk and roots troubadour Paul Handyside will be joining us at the July Country Soul. Mr Handyside is a singer songwriter whose writing style has been compared to artists as varied as Chris Difford, Robyn Hitchcock, Elvis Costello and Martin Carthy. Beginning his musical career as part of the 1980’s Kitchenware scene with the fabulous jangly pop group Hurrah! Mr Handyside’s musical journey has been through a pop landscape tinged with a country influence which is very much evident on his new long player ‘Loveless Town’ (Malady Music 2021) where he explores his own brand of folk-tinged americana. For this Country Soul performance Paul will be accompanied by Mr Rob Tickell on weissenborn slide & Telecaster guitar. https://www.paulhandyside.com/ |
 Drew Morrison and the DarkwoodWebsite The house band are looking forward to treading the CSS boards once again. The Darkwood are Nick Steyn (drums), Ian Gant (guitar), George London (bass & singing) and songwriter Drew Morrison (guitar and singing). The band's central vision of a music touched by influences ranging from Alt Country, Pop & Rock N' Roll all tinged with 'golden chording' has remained focussed and realised itself into a unique sound. Expect to hear flashes of late 1960s Velvets, Jimmy Webb-esque wordplay and electrical guitar playing that has one foot in the 1950s and the other very much in the now. |
