Descriptions below:
The Salties
The heart of this acoustic duo lies in lowdown and dirty Blues but they play a wide range of material, covering various well-known artists and some lesser known acts, with a handful of originals thrown in. The Salties base their music around guitar and harmonica with dashes of percussion and other lead/rhythm instruments to spice up their sound – and your night. (www.thesalties.net). From 9.30pm.
Bluegrass Americana
This is where folk meets blues and jazz. It’s a form of American roots music inspired by the immigrants of the UK and Ireland. Musicians turn up to play, instruments usually include banjoes, fiddles, big bass, acoustic guitar, mandolins, accompanied by vocals. Come and join us for a night of Americana from 9pm.
Old Dollar Bill
The story so far… Ed and Stephen met in July 2009. From that point on they have played together as a duo and along with friends/musicians from all over the world. The Edinburgh Festival catapulted their popularity and the unique style of Bluegrass and Alternative Country music they perform. What you hear is what you get…LIVE! Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/olddollarbill.

Folk Night
