Virginia Kettle’s Rolling Folk
Virginia Kettle is the very heart of the multi award-winning folk-rock band Merry Hell. Her songs, spirit and energies have helped drive the band ever upwards, giving a significant outlet to her creativity, providing anthems such as Bury Me Naked, which had 20,000 fans swaying in a Cropredy field, as well as irresistible dancing tunes, and slices of wry humour. Virginia’s new project “Rolling Folk”, surrounds her with a fabulous and interesting selection of players particularly multi, multi-instrumentalist Chris Lee, and percussionist, whistle player and flautist, Mark Wooley and more recently ace fiddle player Clare ‘Fluff’ Smith. Add in Virginia’s bandmate and husband John, all giving breadth and depth to her musical and lyrical visions. She has been described by Folk Northwest magazine as ‘The best thing to happen in British Folk for years’ and who are we to argue?
An evening not to be missed!
