The following weekend on Friday 6th March we have the wonderfully exuberant 8 piece band, Police Dog Hogan, whose recently released song ‘West Country Boy’ is the Pre match sing- along for Exeter City FC, check out the link on the Beehive website for a sample, its very funny as are all their songs, a stirring mix of Americana, Bluegrass and belters! Also Guardian columnist Tim Dowling plays Banjo in the band.
On Saturday 7th March we are so very lucky to be able to have the 35 piece Wren Folk orchestra- ‘Rough Music’ led by experienced caller and award winning folk musician David Faulkner, playing a wonderful repertoire of local tunes and melodies from across the Atlantic.
