attracting over 1000 visitors over the three days. There’s far more than that to the band, who play their own material and have recently been
recording at Hangover Hill Records. They love a party and it’s a mix of musical genres that gets them in the groove. Guitars, bass and drums are joined by the mellifluous Stu on sax,
as well as some keyboard action from Glen.
The Ragwormers loved playing The Joiners at the end of last year and they are looking forward to gigging across the South and West over the coming months, including down on
the world famous Barbican in Plymouth. The Pilgrim Fathers left for a new life from the Mayflower Steps on the Barbican and the band are completely confident that one day soon, there will be a plaque marking their successful voyage from those very same steps.
Come and see them and be sure to bring your best party face for the soon to be legendary Ragwormers.
