Pokey LaFarge & The South City Three
An outstanding success at Celtic Connections, 2010, this red hot four-piece, from St Louis, Missouri, returns to Europe for main stage appearances at Open House Festival, Belfast; Tønder, Denmark and Leicester's Summer Sundae Festival. Reviewing a recent show at Live Theatre (Newcastle-upon-Tyne), Maurice Hope wrote: "Ear-to-ear smiles were standard as the dumbstruck audience left after a great night." The band is back in the UK straight from appearing at the prestigious Newport Folk Festival. "Go, be delighted." (List); "Book your seats now." (Americana UK); "I love it." (Bob Harris).
