Friday the 13th might be unlucky for some, but for Lichfield music fans it will be a treat in September as The Urban Voodoo Machine make their Lichfield Guildhall debut.
Led by Norwegian frontman Paul-Ronney Angel and featuring up to nine musicians at any given time, the band mash-up guitars, twin drummers, fiddle, trumpet, tuba, banjo, washboard, upright bass, gong, mandolin, accordion, harmonicas, saxophone, sousaphone and even empty bottles and tie racks to create their unique sound.
A Lichfield Arts spokesman said ‘Take a good dollop of musicianship, add in a touch of mystery and you have the ingredients for a great night out with The Urban Voodoo Machine.
“International tours and musical mayhem have been the calling cards for this group, a showcase for gin-soaked, full-blooded gypsy blues and rock, with blasting guitars, bass and drums, shrieking saxophone, washboard shenanigans, and the pure unadulterated sense of fun that leader Paul Ronney-Angel always brings with him.
“We can guarantee that you won’t have seen a band quite like this at the Lichfield Guildhall before.”
The concert starts at 8pm on 13th September, with doors opening from 7.15pm. Tickets are available from www.lichfieldarts.org.uk or by calling 01543 262223.
