Acoustic duo The Weathertop Preachers play classic rock, country rock and alternative covers in the 17th-century pub The Cock Inn.
The Weathertop Preachers are playing The Cock Inn on Saturday 7 November, from 21:00 until midnight. They're an acoustic duo, and the set is built around covers of classic rock, country rock and alternative, all stripped back to acoustic instruments. They describe it as a lively set with an Americana tinge, so it's more of a singalong than a quiet listen.
If you're not familiar with the name, that Americana lean gives you a fair idea of where they're drawing from. The classic rock and country rock sides of the set lean into that rootsy, guitar-led sound, while the alternative covers pull in a different thread. It's a broad enough mix that you'll likely recognise a good chunk of the songs, even if they're played in a different style than the originals.
The Cock Inn is a 17th-century city-centre pub on St Peter's Street, known for its real ale, food, and a heated courtyard garden. It hosts public events from time to time, and this is one of them. The music starts at 21:00 and runs through to midnight, so there's plenty of room to settle in for the night.
