Before The Gold Rush

It's a new year and a new start for BTGR! Join us as we cast away the January blues on the last Friday night of the month, relaunching our full band night at our new home The Fiddler's Elbow. A dedicated music venue with a great technical setup and a welcoming vibe, it's a 3 minute walk from Chalk Farm tube station, or Kentish Town West overground. It'll be £5 in advance / £6 on the door. Tickets can be securely purchased at our WeGotTickets page here

The performers:
The Green Rock River Band
Our headliners are an eight-piece band from London. Describing their output as "wonky tonk doom folk," the band merges Old Time, Americana, British Music Hall and Folk into an explosive and memorable live set. The group have established themselves on the UK folk circuit as one of the leading loud, brash and energetic groups. Perfect for an end of the month Friday night foot-stomp!

The Heartlands
We'll be introduced to The Heartlands for the first time on the night. They are a rare commodity in London - an Americana influenced full band with wonderfully written songs and a very distinct sound that does not stray into overly-earnest territory.

Ringlefinch
A timeless casserole of folk, indie and swing, Ringlefinch is a hearty and nourishing London-based dish that can be enjoyed at any time of year!

Andrew Butler
Opening our night will be a firm friend of BTGR. Andrew Butler is both a wonderfully talented roots influenced musician, a fantastic lyricist, and a fine human being to boot. Think Cash, Orbison, Cohen and Buckley and you're half way there!
