Hayseed Dixie. Think they are Lewes / Brighton based.

Yes, yes and yes.

You won't find a much finer band than the Curst Sons. Brighton born and bred, excellent musicians and supported the Hayseed Dixies at Lewes guitar festival last year. I think the Hayseeds are playing the Komedia in April too and they are hillbilly brilliance. The Curst sons also played Komedia last year.

Sadly not, although they do play in Brighton and Lewes often. THey're from the Kentucky hills.

Curst Sons unfortunately want rather too much money.

Looking for a band to play a gig in Lewes.

Ska band mentioned presumably Ska-Toons. We wanted to try and look elsewhere as people get fed up seeing the same local bands all the time.

Any others out there?

Anybody remember the "Wild Turkey Brothers"?

 

[tedebear]

How about Blues?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Hayseed Dixie are amazing.

 

[Lewesian Seagull]

How about Blues?

Yes possibly, but upbeat Dr Feelgood type blues preferably.


It's an outdoor gig and we want people up and dancing.:
