Bromyard Folk Festival Preview : Opinion
We’re shortly off to Bromyard Folk Festival – here’s what’s on offer for anyone who missed out on Oasis tix!
Seuras Og
"Well, what sort of music do you like, Seuras?" Ever since that question was first aired by his mother a decade or six back he has struggled with the answer. And struggles still now. Call him a folkie, a country dude, a bluesman and he'll be happy, but don't forget the whiff of jazz, electronica and more. Not so keen on the charts, mind.
