Folk Train with Dr Butler's Hatstand Medicine Band
Venue: The band play in Marple Precinct at 11.30am, then Railway Hotel at 1pm
Time: 10.36am train
Price: Train fare
Description
Take the 10.36 from Manchester Piccadilly to Rose Hill Marple, and enjoy the sounds of Dr Butler’s Hatstand Medicine Band on board. They will then play at The Food & Drink Market from 11.30 to 12.30, after which you can hear them back at the Railway pub from about 1pm.
Dr Butler’s will perform blues and folk – hillbilly rock with cloth caps and waistcoats. Good time rags and reels, show stoppers and sight stealers; music for foot stomping and toe tickling that joins hearts with flesh whilst invigorating the thinking mind.
