Field System Halloween

Things Happen Here · Totnes

Field System and special guests return to haunt Things Happen Here in Dartington for the darkest time of the year. Join us for All Hallows’ Eve revels with music from The Meadow Verse and RamEagle, plus a DJ set by Crowmancrow and dancing with Lucy Wright...Dead good. Lucy Wright dances the sun down for the year, join her Dusking circle The Meadow Verse / Metaverse ritual with 17th-century Devon charms and rites. DJ Acid Reflux (aka @21stcenturyyokel aka Tom Cox) will straddle the divide where psychedelic funk meets funk psychedelia, with intermittent bouts of witchiness, while putting a gentle and well-meaning murrain on your cattle RamEagle play a live set from Radio Aux, bringing psychedelic rock and roll to Planet Earth. Crowmancrow serves up a devilish brew of spooky psych, reggae, goth, folk-punk, and more. Fancy Dress or Dress Fancy...PRIZES for the best get-ups! A bit more about our venue... We are very excited to be returning to Things Happen Here. On the outskirts of Totnes, it offers 18 curated craft beers on draft, and delicious food.

Track Dogs

Green Note · London

Track Dogs are an international band formed in 2006 in Madrid with a name deriving from the dark subterranean world of the New York subway system. They are an eclectic line up of acoustic guitar, electric base, trumpet, cajon and stunning four-part vocal harmonies. Their sound is best described as “sunshine-y songs thriving on dark themes behind irresistible rhythms”. Those familiar with the band will know that Track Dogs have always dabbled in different styles from Americana and blue grass to folk and even blues. With over 11 albums, and performances from Glastonbury to the Royal Albert Hall, Track Dogs continue make a name for themselves Sometimes deadly serious, sometimes showing a finely tuned sense of humour - they will always get you tapping your feet and before you know it you will be up and dancing! “A rare combination of four great players who also have superb voices creating stunning individual vocal performances and the almost inevitable perfect harmonies. The playing is outstanding, the harmonies superb and it is joyful throughout, just give it a listen” Music Riot UK “Genre busting acoustic music built around folk, Americana and blue grass” RnR Magazine “...

Music and Afternoon Tea with Virginia Kettle's Rolling Folk

Bunbury Village Hall · Tarporley

What a perfect way to take a little time out from the pre-Christmas rush or to reward yourself for having finished all the shopping! An afternoon of musical delight either side of an afternoon tea (a hot drink and a piece of cake!!). For those of you not already familiar with the Rolling Folk, here's a few words of introduction! Virginia Kettle is the very heart of the multi award-winning folk-rock band Merry Hell. Her songs, spirit and energies have helped drive the band ever upwards, giving a significant outlet to her creativity, providing anthems such as Bury Me Naked, which had 20,000 fans swaying in a Cropredy field, as well as irresistible dancing tunes, and slices of wry humour as seen in ‘VIOLET’, her solo tour-de-force during the band set, where she often forgoes the need for amplification and wanders freely among the audience. Her solo album ‘No Place Like Tomorrow’ was a critical and popular success, hitting the heights of No.1 in the Amazon Folk Charts within days of its release. ROLLING FOLK As a prolific writer of songs, Rolling Folk gives Virginia the chance to share a variety of songs not included in Merry Hell’s sets. It is not a replacement for the band,...
