ONE of the most inventive and diverse bands from the Scottish folk scene, PBS6, will play The Met in Bury next Thursday.
A recording and touring folk hip-hop collaboration with an international perspective is, perhaps on a paper at least, a risky prospect.
However, Park Bench Social Club’s Will Lang has brought together PBS6, a truly eclectic, fluid mix of musicians, who are proving their ambition is well within reach.
Described as one of the best young Bodhran players on the scene, Will is a past All-Britain Champion, All-Ireland Finalist, founder member of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards 2004/2005 finalists Chillum and festival show-stoppers, The Park Bench Social Club.
His unique Bhangra Bodhran style has led to collaborations with the Mercury Music Award winning Nitin Sawhney. The band also features the talents of MC Crystalize, giving the band a unique and contemporary edge.
Tickets for the show are on sale now priced at £10, £6 concessions. To book, visit themet.biz or ring 0161 761 2216.
