Our esteemed patron Hank Wangford hosts the Hat Fest’s closing party at the Bridport Arts Centre on Saturday 1st September 2018 at 8pm.
Hank will appear with a clasic all-star, hard-core line-up of country musicians, the Lost Cowboys:
Martin Belmont – Stratocaster and a giant on the fearsome Fender 6-String Bass, Martin is ex-Graham Parker & the Rumour, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello and Johnny Cash.
BJ Cole – pedal steel guitar and dobro guitar guru who has played with everyone from Brian Eno and REM to Devon Sproule, Martin Simpson, Richard Ashcroft and the Verve
Lord Kevin Foster recently elevated to the peerage (that’s what I’ve been told – Ed!) –vocals bass guitar. Doll by Doll bassist goes hard country.
Roy Dodds – drums. Ex-Fairground Attraction, plays with Eddie Reader and Jacqui Dankworth. Roy plays songs not just tunes.
Spanner (Anna) Robinson – our chanteuse on harmony & lead vocals. Also sings with Alt-Country outfit Hallelujah Trails.
and of course Hank (vocals, guitar & ukulele)
Hank has some more new songs under his belt: some hat related and some heart related. Plus you won’t be disappointed – some old favourites from through the years at Bridport.
Don’t forget your hats!
