BRIGHTON: Prince Albert

TUE 4TH JUN, 2013 8:00pm

After Hillfolk Noir toured over here for the first time in 2012, they returned home to Boise, Idaho, with a pocket full of great reviews – and many open invitations to return. Well, we are very happy to announce that they will be back again with a brand new album to promote and many new friends to see.

Bob Harris was the first to pick up on their distinctive jugband style they call Junkerdash, and playing tracks from the band’s Radio Hour album, told listeners to his BBC Radio 2 show they were “amazing”

Others were equally complimentary as the positive reaction followed them around…:

“A beautiful blend of folk, country and rock 'n' roll with Depression-era inspired string band blues and hillbilly ideals” – The List

“They’re great!” - Frank Hennessy at BBC Radio Wales

“The jugband tradition is alive and more than well; they bring a punky, spunky spirit to the blues and old-time” – Rob Adams, The Herald

“I love this” – Ricky Ross, BBC Radio Scotland

“Roots music with attitude!” – Steve Amos, R2 (Rock ‘n’ Reel) magazine
