AT THE GLAD: Sat 1st Nov: The Ramshackle Union Band/ The Orange Circus Band/ Last of the Barstools Gladstone favourites The Ramshackle Union Band return for what promises to be another epic Saturday night performance. Never failing to produce a fantastic show, the rich vocal harmonies and raucous tumbling rhythms in their alt-Americana sound calls to mind the country funk of The Band and Crazy Horse and the rock and roll attitude of the Violent Femmes. Their sound is in debt to classic roots music, whilst at the same time feeling vital, fresh and thoroughly cutting edge. https://youtube/watch?v=9J48VHfEQ38 The Ramshackle Union Band onstage at 10.00 pm The Orange Circus are a raucous, footstompin, full blooded Americana/ bluegrass act from the U.K and Virginia in America. A unique co-operative, theyre a family band that can include members of all ages from junior to senior. Concentrating mainly on updating traditional songs taken from the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, they continue an historical musical lineage in a fresh, exciting way. Bring your dancing shoes- they put on a brilliantly entertaining show- great playing, beautiful harmonies and boundless energy are guaranteed to raise the roof, warm the heart and encourage the biggest of grins. https://youtube/watch?v=0En4-k9WcVk The Orange Circus Band onstage at 9.00 pm London based indie-folk act Last of the Barstools draw influence from Leanard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen to Bright Eyes and The National and all points in between to form their story based songs, delivered with dual male/female lead vocals in time honoured fashion.
