HANDPICKED - Courtyard from 12pm - Irish Pub from 6pm - Free
When you think of fiddles, mandolins and banjos, what music do you think of Folk, Country, Bluegrass. Anything can happen, depending on the influences the players bring to the mix.

When you combine the infectious and personal side of country with the traditional sounds of Celtic and infuse then with the contemporary influence of rock and funky syncopation you will get a combination that may or may not work.

Steve Passfield's Handpicked Band not only has it working a treat but also is connecting in a big way with audiences around town or on tour. Like life itself, Passfield's original songs bear the influences of many styles and experiences, with an unpretentious delivery and lyric that says the things we all feel.
