Free afternoon of country, rock 'n' roll and blues by Borderline at Billy Bootleggers on Weekday Cross.
Borderline are playing Billy Bootleggers on Saturday 31 October, an afternoon set that runs from 17:00 to 20:00. The venue is at 13-15 Weekday Cross in the city centre, and entry is free.
It's an afternoon slot rather than a late-night one, which changes the whole feel of it. Instead of a dark room and a late start, this is a three-hour stretch of live music that starts in the late afternoon and wraps up by eight, so you're out well before the night has even properly begun. It's a good one if you're not in the mood for a late one but still want to get out and hear something live.
As for what they'll be playing, Borderline describe their sound as a mix of country, rockabilly, rhythm and blues, and other styles they've picked up along the way. The afternoon itself is billed as country, rock 'n' roll and blues in an accessible setting. It's a broad spread of roots music, so you'll get a bit of everything across the three hours rather than one single sound from start to finish. If you're into any of those styles, you'll find your ground here.
