Lancaster duo Morton Betts fuse post-punk, rock 'n' roll and progressive influences in a live show at The Ferret for Independent Venue Week.
Morton Betts play The Ferret on Saturday 23 January, as part of their IVW Tour. The duo are from Lancaster, and the show is one of the dates they're playing for Independent Venue Week.
At their core, Morton Betts are Jack Taylor and Niall Graham, and they describe their music as sitting somewhere between rock, punk and the generally alternative. On stage, they're joined by Liam Santon on drums and Joe Lewis on bass, and that's where the sound really fills out: Santon brings high-octane drumming, and Lewis adds driving, funk-fuelled basslines. Together they pull from post-punk, rock 'n' roll and progressive inspirations, so it's a bit of a mix rather than one thing in particular.
The Ferret is on Fylde Road, and the room is accessible and on the ground floor, which is handy if you're coming with a group. It's an all-ages show, so you can bring the younger ones along, though anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by a responsible adult. And if you've got a dog, they're welcome too.
