Live show by The Woolverstones, a British folk and psychedelic rock band, at Spun Records in Worthing.
The Woolverstones play Spun Records in Worthing on Tuesday 3 November, starting at 7:00 pm. They're a folk and psychedelic rock band, and this is a headline show with them as the sole feature of the night.
They describe themselves as a living continuation of the British pastoral avant-garde, and they've built a reputation as one of the hardest-working grassroots bands on the European circuit, playing over 70 dates a year across the UK and Europe. Their debut album, Grey Eyed Dandy, was produced and mixed by Grammy-nominated engineer John Wood — the same man who worked on Nick Drake's Pink Moon, John Martyn's Solid Air and Fairport Convention's Unhalfbricking. That lineage sits right at the heart of their sound: the quiet, acoustic intimacy of Drake and Martyn meeting the folk-rock of Fairport.
They've picked up endorsements from music historian Colin Larkin and from members of The Byrds and Country Joe and the Fish, and their debut single, 'A Song for Harlequins', was called a 'Folk Masterpiece' by Laurel Canyon Radio. On the festival circuit, they've played the Cambridge Folk Festival, Howth Roots and Blues, Folk in a Field, Lowther's Folk & Roots and the Cropredy Fringe, and have supported Inspiral Carpets, Malcolm Le Maistre and Leo O'Kelly. It's a fair bit of ground to cover for a band that still works the grassroots circuit.
