12:30 – Jackson Creek Band
Country & Western, bluegrass and folk
Tickets £7 including £4 drink or food token
The Jackson Creek Band comprises of Ben Ashby, Helene Jones and Ken Hill; an acoustic band based in Cambridge, UK performing country & western, bluegrass and folk music - all with a healthy dose of harmony, some fancy guitar picking and wholesome upright bass beats that will get your toes tapping.
It all started with an idea; Ben Ashby wanted to play country & western music in Cambridge, England (and that's not such a convenient place, when you think about it). Now Ben, he's quite the talented musician, having studied at Leeds College of Music and performed professionally around the world. He plays bass, guitar, piano and even composes. But Ben, as we mentioned, he had this hankering to perform some good, down-home music with some clean and true harmonies. Why is that, you may be asking yourself? Well, Ben lived in the US for close to ten years, you see, and a love for C&W music is something he's carried ever since moving back to Britain.
