Seasick Steve is the real deal. A trainhopping, jailbirding, cowboying, carnival-working, migrant-farm-picking, occasional-tramping, near-fatal-heart-attack-surviving old hobo. His songs are rough diamonds; gritty tales delivered in a fine, gravelly voice and backed by his rich guitar-playing. Do not miss this chance to catch Steve the greatest live low-down bluesman on the planet, joined on stage tonight by new wave folk hero King Creosote. A key player in the vibrant left-of-centre alternative folk scene in Britain, King Creosote is part of a generation of Scottish folk revivalists who are shaking it up and smoothing it down. An outstanding music event.
