The Pitmen Poets are coming to Nettlebed Folk Club for the last time on Monday, October 31

A GROUP of musicians enjoyed their farewell tour so much that they are back on the road again.

On Monday, October 31, the treat at Nettlebed Folk Club will be The Pitmen Poets Ride Again.

And this time, when they say it is their final, never to be repeated, Farewell Tour, they mean it.

Ex-Lindisfarne singer and songwriter Billy Mitchell, Warhorse Songman, renowned singer and instrumentalist Bob Fox, leading exponent of Tyneside song Benny Graham, and Award winning Durham singer/songwriter Jez Lowe individually and collectively celebrating the triumphs, tragedy, and humour of the North East’s coal mining heritage, in an evening of great music.

“Whoever’s idea it was to bring these four together for a show should be awarded a gold medal for services to music,” said one happy audience member.

Doors open from 7.45pm, and takes place at the Village Club in Nettlebed’s High Street.
