I can confirm that it will be both interesting and very well worth seeing. Hoover the Dog are really hard to describe (musically that is, I won't even attempt other sorts of descriptions) but their music is very diverse and innovative and expertly played.
Have fun listening to them...

This is how Radio 2 described them:

"Welsh borders trio Hoover the Dog are purveyors of inventive, intelligent music. Fiddler John Hymas' classical, European and jazz influences dominate the Celtic-ish repertoire with a few English traditional tunes thrown in for good measure. The result is wonderfully original. A mainly instrumental set features the virtuoso combination of Hymas' strings, the athletic accordion of Paul Hutchinson and guitar/bouzouki man Tony Harris' light, fluid fingerings. Exhibiting bags of technical brilliance and the gift of making music clever and funny at the same time - much cheeky time change and manic modulation - the music ranges from stylish and understated to gutsy and gleeful."

Anyone know where they are on in Sheffield? No publicity locally and nothing on the website....

Give them a ring Dave. Number on their website. I am pretty sure they said Sheffield, in fact I know they did - didn't I :-)

FolkieDave - see new thread for Sheffield gig.

I was amazed. There were at least 100 people there and I didn't recognise anybody. They went down a storm.
