Home Service, one the greatest ever folk-rock ensemble was formed in the early 1980s by a core of musicians who had been part of the influential Albion Band in the previous decade. The band released a single and three albums; by the time of the last of these, "Alright Jack", the band had attained genuine legendary status. Reuniting in 2011 and very much back in business they won the BBC Radio 2 award for Best Folk/Roots Live Act in 2012.
When lead singer John Tams retired from the band, the legendary John Kirkpatrick (Steeleye Span, Albion Band) stepped into his shoes. With a first album of entirely new material for 30 years winning them 5-star reviews, they are going from strength to strength!
Home Service live is still the very mightiest of sounds that could grace any stage, with nothing remotely comparable in the folk-rock arena in terms of maximum visceral and emotional impact.
The Orange Circus Band is a raucous country Americana collective based in Wales and Kent, with roots in Virginia, USA.
Having a hand in roots, rock and gospel music, and updating traditional songs taken from The Blue Ridge Mountains - The Orange Circus Band produces original music that has a wholly unique, fresh sound. You can expect wild playing, beautiful harmonies and boundless energy guaranteed to raise the roof and warm the hearts.
They’ve played with the likes of Noah and The Whale’s Urby Whale, Michele Stodart of The Magic Numbers, The Grahams, and Born Crooked and many more.
The night is part of the Burgess Hill Summer Festival and not to be missed
