Flowerfield welcomes back one of the live music highlights of the last two years – as Southern Tenant Folk Union make a return visit to Portstewart.
We had a superb night of close harmonies and fine playing the last time the band brought their seven-piece magic to local audience.
The most highly acclaimed folk/bluegrass band in the UK today, the band have recently released their fourth album ‘Pencaitland’ and since starting out in 2006 they’ve toured their exciting live show all over the UK, Ireland, Netherlands & Germany.
A seven piece all acoustic band with banjo, mandolin, fiddle & harmony vocals the STFU perform with ’soul & beauty’ on their murder ballads & laments and tear it up with their ’Hootenanny sawdust-kickers’ and high energy sound.
Receiving airplay from the likes of Bob Harris & Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 2, live appearances on National RTE TV (The View) & Radio 4’s Loose Ends plus praise for their music in The Sunday Times, The Guardian and The Independent has seen the band light up the folk music scene. Artistically successful and award winning as well as being a captivating live act they now sell out arts centres across Europe.
‘The band knock up a fierce, raw and earthy music that is the stuff of Mumford & Sons' dreams…the results are as compelling as they are oppressively bleak’ - Maddy Costa, The Guardian (Friday Film & Music)
‘Pencaitland is their most serious and ambitious album yet’ - Andrew Mueller, UNCUT
All tickets are £12, available from Flowerfield Arts Centre on (028) 7083 1400 - this includes interval refreshments.
