You can't get much further away from the American Deep South but this Vancouver based bunch of hillbillies play as though they were raised in the Appalachians. The six-piece, who hit The Greys on Monday 6th June, play classics and originals with fiddles, mandolin, banjo, stand-up bass and guitar battling it out on the hoedown songs or playing sweetly behind the vocalists on the waltzier numbers. We're not sure The Greys is big enough for a barn dance but we reckon they'll give it their best shot.

There's been a mini-epidemic of youngish old-timey bands recently and thankfully most of them have been individualistic and great showmen. Stepping up to the plate to hopefully join them is North Carolina's Woody Pines and his band of merry men, who arrive at The Hydrant on Friday 6th May. Playing a mix of ragtime and country blues, there are rich pickings on offer from their two albums. If good ol' tunes are what you like, this should be the perfect way to start your weekend.
