Two Coats Colder

---

Saturday 29th October 7.30pm

This superb four-piece, acoustic folk band, have now well and truly arrived on the folk club/ festival scene and come very highly recommended. They are guaranteed to get you singing along with their melodic and lay-back mix of original and traditional songs featuring guitars, bass, mandolin and Indian Harmonium.
David Baird, Anna Bass, Chris Buller and Ray Taylor, each with their own extensive individual careers going back over decades, came together at High Barn, the renowned beautiful period venue in Great Bardfield.  
Their diary is constantly filling with re-invitations, as they continue to forge new friendships around the folk circuit and accept new invitations to play their extensive repertoire of original songs, salt ‘n peppered with their own quirky take on traditional and contemporary songs. Recommended by a Fold audience regular.
