Saturday 25th May

Music: Dr. Butler’s Hatstand Medicine Band – 12.30pm

A travelling troupe of musicological minstrels, peddling their unique good-time tonic to all four corners of the land. Made from a secret combination of folk herbs and blues spices. A sprinkle of ragtime, a dash of swing, a blend of spiritual and gospel essences, a pinch of the oldest of old-time melodies, a slither of bluegrass and a teaspoon of Vaudevillian and Music Hall showoffery; all whisked together with the most esoteric of folk rhythms.

Find out more about the band here and on their Facebook.
