STACKRIDGE have the distinction of having opened and closed the very first Glastonbury.

And fans new and old can enjoy the original line up in action when they take to the Talking Heads stage tomorrow.

Andy Davis, James Warren, ‘Mutter’ Slater and Jim ‘Crun’ Walter still retain their unique mix of charm, skill and intelligence.

They are as contemporary and fresh as bands half their age with a collection of songs that emphasise their talent for writing memorable melodies and playful, poignant lyrics.

n ODD Socks celebrate their first birthday at The Cellar tomorrow night with a set from Polly and the Billets Doux.

There’s also burlesque from Roxy`s Rockets and a whole host of Odd Socks DJs delivering vintage classics from past generations.

Polly and the Billets Doux released their new EP Hold Fast this week.

The band’s first album earned them the attention of BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music and Amazing Radio. They are well-established on the UK live circuit having toured extensively in 2010 and 2011. Festival favourites, the band have played Glastonbury, The Big Chill, Secret Garden Party, and Cambridge Folk Festival to name a few, and are set to embark on another busy summer in 2012.

n DESCRIBED as the finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene, founders of Bellowhead and twice winners of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Duo, Spiers and Boden have, in the last ten years, made the genre of spontaneous, punky English folk very much their own stomping ground.

Experience Folk Singer of the Year 2010 Jon Boden on fiddle and John Spiers and his beautiful harmonies at The Brook on Thursday.
