Like all appearances by The Titanic Syncopators, they went down very well at the Royal Oak in Lewes last night *
Next Thursday 24th January, we move on with Europe's finest Old Timey music band, THE NEW DEAL STRING BAND
The New Deal String Band was formed in 1966 by Tom Paley and Joe Locker, two banjo-and-guitar playing ex New Yorkers living in London. The band was active for many years with various fiddle players and then went into hibernation until the 1990's when Tom's son Ben took up the fiddler's slot.
Tom, who has been playing guitar and banjo since the 1940's, was a founder member of the New Lost City Ramblers. Both Tom and Joe have graced the UK scene with their authentic Old Timey music for many years
Hear the band singing Down of Penney's Farm and see a video of the Tom's amazing guitar playing at the Royal Oak's MySpace site.
