After a superb show in Scarborough in November, delighted to welcome The Coal Porters back to North Yorkshire for Filey Americana. The Coal Porters are an exciting and dynamic bluegrass combo with a DYNAMITE LIVE ACT featuring; Kerenza Peacock fine fiddle and vocals; Paul Fitzgerald banjo and vocals; Sid Griffin vocals, mandolin, harmonica and autoharp; Andrew Stafford bass; Neil Robert Herd guitar and vocals. The Coal Porters claim to be the world's first alt-bluegrass act, demonstrating the power of fiddle, mandolin, banjo, acoustic guitar and doghouse bass when matched with four-part harmonies and memorable melodies. They have taken this sound around the world being featured on NPR's Morning Edition in the USA and having recorded a live session for Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2.
