This is one of those things I've been meaning to report on for a while, but every time I've gone into my email looking for the press release I've just not been able to find it. Well, I just found it, hurrah!
Whiskey brand Bulleit Bourbon (I'm going with 'whiskey' because its an American drink, though someone once told me the official American spelling of 'whiskey' is 'whisky', but no one uses it, none of which is especially relevant to this story) is staging a series of music events at the Vibe bar on London's Brick Lane over the next few weeks, mainly on a Sunday afternoon, though one takes place on a Thursday evening. The musical theme is "alt-country" and "nu-folk", and alongside the bands and DJs we've been promised 'frontier cabaret' including lassoing and rope tricks, whip cracking and card tricksters. Dates and line ups as follows:
19 Nov: Treecreeper, John George Cooper, Heavenly Recordings DJs, Deejay Wheelie Bag
26 Nov: Absentee, The Tailors, Rough Trade DJs, Deejay Wheelie Bag
30 Nov: Alabama 3 Unplugged, The Occasional String Band, Ross Allen, Deejay Wheelie Bag
3 Dec: The Occasional String Band, Mr David Viner, Heavenly Recordings v Rough Trade DJs, Deejay Wheelie Bag
