…a special announcement!

Thanks to all who came and supported our Christmas Shindig – over £400 raised for Jessie’s Fund and a super evening was had by all. Apart from an open-air session at Princesshay Shopping Centre in Exeter on 17th Dec (11am  – 2pm) (gloves on boys!), and a solo gig for Nick that evening in Bath, we’re done for the year. Thanks for all your support in 2011, and we hope to see you again in 2012, when we have loads of great things planned….

…at Wellington Arts Centre!

Once again we’re pleased to announce our annual shindig at The Wellington Arts Centre. On Saturday 3rd December, Thunderbridge Bluegrass Boys, and very special guests, Old Time wonders The Gollywhoppers, will entertain the crowds for the seventh WAC Bluegrass Night!

Tickets are available from the store page, or by good old telephone on 01823 667669 (business hours). We’ve come from a long year of both recording and gigging and we’re just pleased to get back home to play to all the wonderful people of Wellington, our fab Hometown. Expect new songs, new album songs and some really old songs, first played at our very first performance there in 2005 – see early-era image for four (much) younger Somerset hillbillies….!

Hey! We hope you’re all OK and are looking forward to the winter. Chop those toes and wrap up those logs (is that right?) – it’s gonna snow for sure!

After the rather mad round of summer gigs that we’ve just finished, we are now looking forward to a couple more shows, one of which is just next weekend. But first! Let’s talk about someone else……  Read the rest of this entry »

…It Was All A Dream….(see what we did there….?)

Friday 14th – TBB have just returned from Worcester where they played the magnificent Cathedral, with none other than Patrick Duffy (aka Bobby Ewing) talking about life, loves and JR – an excellent and entertaining evening all round. The usual TBB antics were present, including pitching up and singing randomly to people, a dressing room bigger than all of our houses put together, and a (very) late night with the natives and their whisky! To cap it all, and highlighting the continuing adventures of TBB, the Cathedral gig was the biggest venue we have ever played it is, like, hooooooge), and the ‘after show’ venue – the wonderful Marwood pub in the centre of Worcester – was without doubt the smallest and loudest! From one extreme to the other. Other happenings also occurred, such as a lovely chat with Mr Duffy (seen here – ain’t he tall???), and an apparition on stage. Spooky.
