They describe their music as contemporary jazz/rock/electronica/hip-hop/Balkan/afrobeat/funk music. Or something.🤷‍♀️😀 Since the release of @hackneycolliery 's eponymous debut album in 2011, the East London collective have blown their way into the public consciousness with their genre-bending combination of brass, reeds, percussion and electronics, firmly establishing themselves as one of the most exciting live bands in the UK.

There’s an energy, respect for tradition and the exuberance of London in Hackney Colliery Band’s work. With a setlist as diverse as the borough which gave them their name, expect an eclectic and completely unique mix of dancefloor-filling contemporary rock, jazz, soul and electronica. Delicate one minute, powerfully energetic the next and always concluding in a huge party. An HCB show is as exciting as it is memorable, leading BBC Radio 2 to call HCB ‘one of the best live bands we have in this country'. "Clever, and enormous fun" - Guardian
"An ingenious blend of showmanship and intelligence" - Sunday Times
"This is the most enjoyable, fun music that I know of" - Observer, UK

Can't wait to see them at Towersey on Sunday 30th August. Tickets from £50. Link in bio 👆

The Musical Adventures of Kate Stables and Friends

@thisisthekit , the nom de plume of Kate Stables, has been in existence since the 00s, when Kate moved to Bristol and started playing and collaborating with local musicians. “The aim is to have fun playing with people whose work I really like,” says Kate. “The more you exchange and share with people the better things get and the more you learn.” “absolutely georgeous, like an aural bath with the warm water lapping over you” Cerys Matthews, BBC 6 music
“just one of the best things i’ve heard all year….wonderful wonderful stuff” Guy Garvey, BBC 6 music

This Is The Kit create something quite mesmerising, a sound seemingly unbound by time or place. Kate Stables has long been an exceptional songwriter, but with her latest album, Moonshine Freeze, has comes the thrilling sensation of an artist truly finding her voice: as if these are the stories she has been waiting to tell, these the dark coves and shadowy glens she’s been longing to lead us through.

Playing at Towersey 2020 on Saturday 29th August .... day tickets from just £50.

As we wait for new announcements, let's get back to our #Towersey2020 intro series for those that might not be familiar with some of the great artists already on the line-up.

Today we have @steeleye_span. With a career that has taken in an astounding six decades, Steeleye Span is not just a legendary name in British music but also a link to the classic days of rock and folk music. Contemporaries of the likes of Led Zeppelin and Fairport Convention, they changed the face of folk music forever, taking it out of small clubs and into the world of chart topping albums and international tours.
Members have come and gone over the years, but Steeleye has always remained at the forefront of the genre they helped to define, and the band has become an institution in British music.

Led by the iconic Maddy Prior, the seven-piece line-up will draw on the group’s incredible history to provide a night of favourites and surprises from down the decades.

Definitely one to see on Friday 28th August at Towersey ..... day tickets from just £45.

Only 9 more sleeps to Christmas 🎅🏾🎄🎁 ..... but still plenty of time to get your hands on some Towersey tickets. They make great presents, or simply treat yourself, you deserve it!! Tickets available online - link in bio ☝

Next up in our #towersey2020 intro series is @showofhandsmusic featuring @mirandajsykes and Cormac Byrne.

Two undisputed kings of the folk, roots and acoustic scene Steve Knightley and Phil Beer, reunite with long-term collaborator Miranda Sykes. Bass and vocal queen Sykes was much-missed during her recent sabbatical, and excitement is building around her return to the fold.

And there’s more, because the trio is expanding to include master percussionist Cormac Byrne who returns with his blistering additions by popular demand.

There’s no doubt that Show of Hands the four-piece, now something of a supergroup, and their combined musicianship is guaranteed to sound nothing short of magical.

Steve says, “With the heartbeat and harmonies that Cormac and Miranda add, we are at last creating a sound we’ve dreamed of making for twenty-five years!”. #christmas #christmaspresents #christ masgifts #xmaspresents #xmasgifts #festivaltickets #treatyourself #musiclover#musiclovers #folkmusic #rootsmusic #acousticmusic #percussion #supergroup #towersey2020 #claydonestate #buckinghamshire #augustbankholiday #folkfestival #musicfestival #ukfestival #ukevents #familyfestival

As we keep announcing great new artists for Towersey 2020, we are aware that some of you might not be familiar with some of them and their music. So we have created a series of introductory videos to give you a little taster.
First up is @katerusby. Forever proud to call herself a folk singer, Kate’s beautiful, expressive vocals never fail to connect the emotional heart of a song to that of her audience. The crossover appeal Kate enjoys is unprecedented for a folk singer and has been achieved without resort to compromise.

Adult day tickets just £50 to see Kate, @hackneycolliery, @lwmvc, @ranagri and many more still to be announced.
Or join us for the whole weekend from just £144.
