Live folk gig by The Mary Wallopers, with support from the Glasgow band Cliffords, at Rock City in Nottingham.
The Mary Wallopers are playing Rock City on Monday 26 October, their latest album Paddywhackery fresh out. They're a folk group from County Louth in Ireland, and they've built their name on an energetic live style and an innovative approach to traditional material. That's the core of what they do: taking old folk songs and playing them with a contemporary energy that keeps them from feeling like museum pieces. Paddywhackery is the newest addition to that, and the set will lean on it.
They aren't coming alone. Support comes from the Glasgow-based band Cliffords, so there's a second act to warm the room before the main set. Between the two, you'll get a full night of folk on the bill rather than just one band and a quick opening. It's a Monday night, which is something to keep in mind if you're planning your week around it.

On the practical side, doors open at 19:00 and the night is expected to wrap up around 23:00, so you're looking at a good few hours of music. Tickets are £33.56, which includes the booking and venue restoration fees; the face value is £28.50. One thing to note before you book: the show is for over-14s only, so it's not one for the very young. That's it for the details — Rock City is at 8 Talbot Street, NG1 5GG, and the whole thing runs from 19:00 on Monday 26 October.
