An American string band which mixes hillbilly and country blues music with a punk attitude is heading for a special appearance in north Norfolk.
Old Sledge, led by singer and fiddle champion Chance McCoy, appear at The Snug Club in the Community Centre, Garden Street, Cromer, on Friday, October 7 at 7.30pm.
It will be a rare musical treat for lovers of old-time American music as the recording band is visiting Britain for just a short tour from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
Chance, a multiple fiddle champion in West Virginia, learnt many of his songs and tunes directly from traditional Appalachian musicians.
He was also featured in the BBC4 Folk America series screened a couple of years ago.
Appearing with Chance in the Old Sledge trio are Sabra Guzman (rhythm guitar, lead and harmony vocals), and Luke Richardson (clawhammer banjo).
* Tickets are �8 in advance from Marie at the Old Town shop, 49 Bull Street, Holt, tel 01263 710001, or �9 on the door.
