The Rigmarollers
Thursday 15th & Friday 16th August 2024
#PVFF24, #PVFF23
The Rigmarollers pack out shows with their unique take on the blues, having made the leap to festival headliners in the last year.
A trio with a massive sound, they put vocals, harmonica, guitar and sousaphone over an irresistible backbeat.
They released their new ‘21st Century Speakeasy Music’ in June.
Harmonica virtuoso Ed Hopwood learnt his craft in acclaimed UK blues bands. Julian Marshall has travelled across America and Europe to play with blues and trad musicians. Ewan Penkey is rightly lauded for his mastery of the sousaphone and bass. Together they blast out an original musical mix, bringing the party everywhere they play.
The Rigmarollers regularly sell out gigs across London and the UK. They have played Sidmouth Jazz & Blues, Fire in the Mountain, The Idler, Bimble Bandada, Purbeck Valley, Ealing Blues, Upton Blues, Leek Blues & Americana, among many festivals.
