Wanted - thoughts on a new session!

A couple of us have been thinking about starting a new session and I’d like to sound out your thoughts.  The idea is a 2nd and 4th Friday evening or 2nd and 4th Sunday lunch time predominantly English session, with an emphasis on ‘all muck in’ lively tunes and rollicking traditional chorus songs.  Ideally in a nice friendly pub with a supportive landlord.

The probable location is between Newton Abbot and Totnes or Newton Abbot and the south side of Exeter , perhaps close to the A38, but that depends upon who is likely to play as opposed to those merely expressing interest!  

Please pass the word and ask anyone seriously interested in playing reasonably regularly to contact me with suggestions re time and suitable pub

Eat the Rich

Eat The Rich are an experienced and versatile folk-rock band with a unique sound and a wealth of original and traditional material, as well as a few rousing cover versions. We are a four piece consisting of guitar, fiddle/mandolin, drums/harmonica and bass and vocals x 3. We have had some success in getting work (see the events list) but we all have busy day jobs as well as the band. We are looking to bring on board a manager who would be a "fifth" member of the band and share the spoils accordingly on an equal basis. We have our own PA and backline and some publicity material.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic individual who possesses a thick skin to contact festivals and venues and try and get us more work. Who knows - maybe even record companies! The sky's the limit as they say!

If you think you fit the bill and have the time to commit to running around and spending time on the telephone then please call either Matt on 07812 246655, Neil on 07813 692061 or Andy on 01404 850786 (evenings only). We generally rehearse on a Wednesday so you're welcome to come along and see if we live up to our claims!
