THE LONG HILL RAMBLERS

We may be sticking our necks out by calling this a supergroup but however you describe it, this line up promises great things.
Ben Paley and Tab Hunter hardly need an introduction but they have now been joined by banjo wizard Dan Stewart, also a member of Rattle on the Stovepipe.
All the focus, however, will be on Laura Hockenhull , the outstanding young singer whose stunning vocal style has been described as “folk music’s best kept secret.”

This will be their first public appearance as a quartet and is already attracting a huge interest from far and wide.
There has already been an unprecedented number of requests for floor spots so if you would like to sing or play arrival well before our 8.30 start is advisable.
A preview of Laura on stage here
