8:00 Support 9:00 Driven Serious

Driven Serious have recently released their second album after over 11 years, performing as festival favourites. They are an original folk-rock band mainly based in the North East of England. Critically acclaimed with energy comparable to such bands as the Levellers and the Waterboys. Driven Serious - new album: Look On These Works is an incredibly engaging listen, whether it's the monumental sounding strings that carry us through this adventure, or the war-like drums at the start of the title track, it's an impressive experience. (Narc Magazine) Driven Seriousperformance: I suppose you could file Driven Serious under the banner of folk-rock; but they are so much than that. They have a vibrancy that you can virtually see thrumming off them when they play, passionate and with the hand-brake well and truly off, and with a vibe that has had people likening them to The Levellers to The Pogues to The Smiths to The Wonderstuff.
