Get ready for one Hell of a time

-

MERRY Hell are back – and this time they are with their full band!

Go along for another foot-stomping night, which is not to be missed. Merry Hell are a band founded on the ever-evolving folk tradition – music made by the people and shared by the people. It is a wellestabl­ished fact that if you see Merry Hell live, you will leave with a big grin on your face. Their music is rousing, joyous, uplifting and totally infectious and probably contagious (in a good way, of course).

Founded in their native North West of England, Merry Hell is an eight-piece folk-rock band with a history, a pedigree and a bright future.

In four short years they have risen to become festival favourites, their first two albums finding favour with critics, broadcaste­rs and music fans alike.

They are continuing to develop an enviable reputation for the quality of their song writing, recorded work and live performanc­es.

The band was forged in the smoulderin­g embers of 90s folk/ punk band, The Tansads.

Following an emotional series of reunion concerts in 2010, the band members chose to tread the boards under a new name, ‘Merry Hell’, in order to reflect their new impetus, new hopes and, most importantl­y, new songs.

Merry Hell will be at The Atkinson on Thursday, July 14 from 7.30pm.
