It's a Barndance

Tune in for thigh-slapping, toe-tapping, arm-linking fun! "It's a Barndance" is all about celebrating the upbeat, raucous and sometimes emotional genres of folk rock, gypsy punk and celtic dance.

Expect bands such as Mumford and Sons, Fleet Foxes, the Pogues, Runrig, Simon and Garfunkel, Laura Marling, Angus and Julia Stone, Bellowhead, Elliot Smith, Elvis Perkins, Beirut, Bright Eyes, Tom Jones's Welsh ballads, Broken Records, Noah and the Whale, Washington Irving, Seth Lakeman, Lau, The Walkmen, **pause for breath**, Yasmin Levi, Roddy Woomble (of Idlewild), Fran Healy (of Travis), Horslips, The Waterboys and many more. Along with these, there will be frequent updates on up-and-coming local bands including the venues and dates they will be playing in Glasgow.

This show hopes to grow with the artists it plays and will be drafting them into the studio for an intimate session of music and questions about the what it's like to be a folk rock artist.

The sweet and soft patter will tickle your ear drums and massage your mind into a hypnotic farmyard trance.
