As part of the Homegrown Folk Festival and the Bury Light Night Celebrations The Met is hosting a night of free folk music at the Castle Armoury Drill Hall featuring Danish folk band Habadekuk, Coco and the Butterfields and Edward II. Free tickets can be reserved online before the event, for pick up at the venue, or are available on the door.
Edward II uniquely blend the rhythms of the Caribbean with traditional songs from the British Isles. Their new set is upbeat, with rock-steady rhythms, blazing horns, fabulous harmonies and fiery melodeon melodies.
Colourful, energetic & crowd-stamping, CoCo and the Butterfields express all the fun and vibrance of a village folk fair, throwing in powerful vocals and a beatbox to deliver catchy songs resonating in a stadium-filling pop and urban rap vibe.
Habadekuk are one of Denmark’s leading folk bands. With a vibrant mix of folk, rock, salsa and big band jazz they catapult folk melodies into the 21st century.
