Pembrokeshire Eclectic Music Society have organised a wonderful evening of music to take place at Burnetts Hill Chapel in Martletwy, on Thursday, November 15, when the Jaywalkers bring their exhilarating show to the venue.

The event replaces the one scheduled for February last year where the storm prevented the band from leaving their town.

As those who have been fortunate enough to catch them in full flight will testify, a Jaywalkers show is an exhilarating experience. UK-based they may be but many from the other side of the Atlantic have complimented them on their particularly stylish delivery of this virtuosic brand of Americana.

These three outstanding musicians have developed a tight bond, demonstrated through their well-crafted, tasteful arrangements and ability to bounce ideas around the stage. The combination of powerhouse bass, flame-fingered mandolin, blistering fiddle and three-part harmony pack a punch as fiery as Jay’s lead vocals and make a fuller sound than expected from an acoustic trio.

This winter, Jaywalkers are on a full UK tour to support the release of their brand-new album ‘Time to Save the World’, which came out this month.

Since reaching the finals of the BBC Young Folk Awards in 2008, Jaywalkers have cemented their place as one of the most exciting, virtuosic and entertaining young bands working on the British Folk scene.

Effortlessly creating a unique sound based on their collective and individual musical backgrounds, the band takes influence from Folk, Bluegrass, Country and Western Swing music in the form of virtuosic instrumentals, three part harmony and impressive slap bass. Add good humour, tasteful arrangements and exceptional musicianship to the mix and they are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Their live set consists of a mix of covers, but also many original songs inspired by stories and poetry from Mike’s home county of Lancashire.

The history of the area starts around the time of the Industrial Revolution when the cotton industry arrived, so there are strong themes running through the set about the trials of life in industrial Lancashire. But, its not all doom and gloom!

The band litters their set with blistering, foot-stomping, uptempo instrumentals and more cheerful traditional songs to entertain the soul and cheer the heart.

The doors will open at 7 pm for a 7.30 pm start.

Tickets at £10 are available from Main Street Music, Pembroke or on the door of the Chapel.
