GROANBOX in Ipswich
I can recommend this band to anyone with an appetite for roots music that‘s played in an idiosyncratic style but never loses sight of where it comes from. These guys were great at Maverick back in 2009 and they will be great at the Manor Ballroom in Ipswich on Saturday 29th October.
‘Utterly Enthralling. This is music that goes deep into the roots of popular music…west African Griot songs, Deep South blues, Nashville harmonies, Eastern European gypsy dances… ‘ The Independent
I could not have said it better myself – well maybe, but this gives you the idea. Photographed here at the Farm Park by the great Nick Sinclair during his second tour of duty capturing images for the Maverick Wall of Fame.
If I can get them at Maverick 2012 I certainly will but don‘t count on it – you know musicians – check the New Wolsey Theatre website for ticket info or phone their box office on 01473295900 .
