Dan O’Farrell & the Difference Engine

Water Rats · London

Dan O’Farrell & the Difference Engine - former Accrington Stanley frontman Dan now fronts this marvellous alt-folk/country/indie combo from Southampton who have just released their fourth album - 'The Fish That Learned To Drown' on Gare Du Nord Records, which has had some glowing reviews and is picking up some BBC 6music radio spins. Oh, and Well, All Right!... a certain well known consumer rights TV presenter also performs in this band. Pedal steel guitar is always a joy to see/hear, and is just one of the tools of their trade...it's not Esther Rantzen by the way. (Sorry this was originally written before the woman obsessed with root vegetables that look a bit like willies sadly passed) Sadly Lovely Lightning have had to depart the bill due to ill health. We wish the ailing bassist well. But fear ye not, Matt Allright’s OTHER band, the aptly handled Band Of Hope have stepped up to kick the evening off. The Targets - bluesy grooves and punky pop songs, for fans of the Feelgoods and the Hot Rods.
