When the Pokey LaFarge travelling show glides into town, all The Way from St Louis, Missouri, everyone falls under the spell. He made a solo appearance at the Tolbooth last year and the reaction was amazing. This time he returns with his full knock-em-dead band. His songs are influenced by all that he admires from bygone days, yet turn out to be a wonderfully fresh and quirky kind of pop that combines delta-meets-appalachia writing with a big, big beat. Pokey and his band – The South City Three - were one of the outstanding highlights at this year’s Celtic Connections. They return to Europe straight from a main stage appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, to take their hot brand of "riverboat soul" to the Open House Festival in Belfast, Northern Ireland; Denmark's Tonder Festival, Leicester's big Summer Sundae Weekender, and a second run at the world-famous Edinburgh Festival. On its release this year, the band's new album went straight to the Number 5 slot on the hugely-influential American FAR Chart compiled from monthly returns submitted by the movers and shakers among radio presenters and producers across the USA.
