Ignite- The Huckleberries

Part of ignite, the Hall's free lunchtime music series in the Café Consort from 12 noon. The Huckleberries began life in 1996 as a busking duo on the streets of Bournemouth. They’ve now grown to a five-piece band that comprises string banjo/mandolin, fiddle, guitar, electric bass and drums. Their music traditionally comprised of traditional Irish, English and Scottish tunes mixed with American Bluegrass and a touch of Ragtime. Then, as the band grew, more original material was introduced combining the traditional flavour with a widely appealing contemporary dance feel. The Huckleberries’ appeal is due to the infectious enjoyment they communicate at their performances, which accounts for the great reception they receive at their live gigs. They will certainly get your toes tapping!
